VLSI Design Engineer

Job Title

VLSI Design Engineer

Role Summary

Join a VLSI engineering team focused on SystemVerilog/UVM-based design and verification for data communications, wired/wireless networking, interconnect technologies and multicore processors. The team works on portable stimulus (PSS/DSL), fault simulation, low-power design and regression testing.

Position is based in Mumbai and requires in-person (work-from-office) attendance.

Experience Level

Mid-level - candidates with approximately 1 to 6 years of relevant experience; also open to recent graduates as specified in Education Requirements.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Develop and verify RTL and verification environments using SystemVerilog and UVM.
• Implement and validate protocol testbenches and compliance tests (e.g., I2C, USB, Ethernet, 802.11, PCIe, AMBA/AXI/CHI).
• Work on portable stimulus (PSS/DSL) integration, fault simulation, and low-power (UPF) verification flows.
• Collaborate with cross-functional and remote teams to integrate IP/ASIC components and run regressions.
• Automate verification tasks and debug issues using Linux and shell scripting tools.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience:

• Strong digital logic design fundamentals.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM methodologies.
• Protocol verification experience (I2C, USB, Ethernet, 802.11, PCIe, AMBA/AXI/CHI or similar).
• Comfortable with Linux, vim/vi, and shell scripting for verification automation.
• Ability to work on-site in Mumbai and coordinate with geographically distributed teams.
• Good debugging and problem-solving skills in verification environments.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with Portable Stimulus (PSS/DSL), fault simulation tools, low-power verification (UPF), multicore verification, or DFT.

Education Requirements

BE/B.Tech or ME/M.Tech in Electronics, Communications, or related engineering fields (Tier-1 or Tier-2 engineering colleges). Candidates should be 2025 or earlier graduates for Bachelor's, or Master's class of 2026. Equivalent practical experience not specified.
