Senior Principal Verification Engineer

Verification Planning & Execution

• Define comprehensive verification strategies and verification plans based on architecture and design specifications.
• Develop and execute block-level, subsystem-level, and SoC-level verification environments.
• Drive verification closure through functional, code, assertion, and toggle coverage metrics.
• Create test plans, verification testcases, and sign-off criteria.
  
  

• Architect and develop scalable SystemVerilog/UVM-based verification environments.
• Design reusable Verification Components (UVCs), scoreboards, checkers, monitors, and reference models.
• Develop constrained-random, directed, and scenario-based tests.
• Integrate third-party VIPs and custom verification IPs.
  
  

• Develop SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) for protocol and functional checking.
• Utilize assertion-based verification techniques to improve bug detection efficiency.
• Collaborate with formal verification teams for property development and closure.
  
  

• Analyze simulation failures and identify RTL, testbench, or architectural issues.
• Work closely with design and architecture teams to resolve functional and performance-related bugs.
• Lead complex debug activities across multiple IPs and subsystems.
  
  

• Define and track functional coverage models.
• Drive functional, code, assertion, and cross-coverage closure.
• Review verification metrics and provide sign-off recommendations.
• Ensure compliance with overall project verification and quality goals.
  
  

• Lead end-to-end verification of large SoCs including:
• Interconnect and fabric verification
• Cache coherency verification
• Memory subsystem verification
• Boot and reset validation
• Low-power verification
• Performance and stress testing
  

• Provide technical leadership to verification teams.
• Mentor junior and senior engineers on UVM, verification methodologies, and debug techniques.
• Participate in hiring, technical interviews, and project planning.
• Drive best practices and verification process improvements.
