You are a passionate and experienced verification engineer eager to make a difference at the forefront of technology. With a strong foundation in electronics and a deep understanding of System-on-Chip (SoC) verification, you thrive in collaborative environments where complex problem solving and innovation are key. You have hands-on expertise in advanced verification methodologies—particularly UVM, SystemVerilog, and C/C++—and you’re familiar with industry-standard protocols such as AXI-AMBA, USB, PCIe, and MIPI. Your analytical skills are matched by your ability to mentor and lead, supporting younger engineers while driving project success.

You recognize the value of diversity and inclusion and bring an open-minded, adaptable approach to your work. Whether working independently or as part of a multidisciplinary team, you are proactive in learning new tools and methodologies, and you consistently deliver high-quality results. Your communication skills help you collaborate effectively with architects, designers, and verification teams, and your experience with ARM-based technologies gives you a unique edge. You are motivated by the opportunity to solve challenging customer problems and help shape the future of high-performance computing, automotive, aerospace, and defense solutions.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Designing and developing comprehensive verification test plans and infrastructure based on design specifications and customer requirements.
• Implementing and analyzing SystemVerilog assertions and coverage metrics (code, toggle, functional) to ensure design correctness.
• Leading verification activities, mentoring junior engineers, and assisting in debugging complex issues.
• Collaborating closely with architects, designers, and pre & post silicon verification teams to achieve project goals.
• Adhering to rigorous quality standards and best practices in test and verification processes.
• Rapidly ramping up on new verification tools and methodologies using Synopsys products to enable customer success.
• Developing innovative, independent solutions to technical challenges with minimal guidance.
• Consistently setting and achieving task-level goals and project milestones.
• Working with Synopsys teams, including Business Unit Application Engineers and Sales, to broaden and deploy tool and IP solutions.
  
  

The Impact You Will Have:

• Ensuring the delivery of robust, high-quality SoC solutions for leading-edge customers in diverse industries.
• Accelerating the verification process, reducing time-to-market for innovative chip designs.
• Enhancing customer satisfaction by solving complex design and verification challenges.
• Driving the adoption of Synopsys EDA tools and IP, strengthening the company’s market leadership.
• Enabling the successful launch of products in high-performance computing, automotive, aerospace, and defense sectors.
• Mentoring and developing junior team members, fostering a culture of excellence and continuous learning.
• Contributing to the evolution of verification methodologies and best practices.
  
  

What You’ll Need:

• B.E/B.Tech/M.E/M.Tech in Electronics with 4-8 years of experience in the verification domain.
• Proven experience in IP or SoC level verification, including processor-based SoC environments (native, Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM mixed).
• Hands-on expertise with verification tools such as VCS, waveform analyzers, and third-party VIP integration (e.g., Synopsys VIPs).
• Strong proficiency in UVM, SystemVerilog, and C/C++ for verification.
• Familiarity with AXI-AMBA protocol variants, scripting languages (shell, Makefile, Perl), and ASIC design concepts and flow.
• Experience with ARM core verification, USB, PCIe, MIPI protocols, and ARM-based technologies (Coresight Debug, Processor architecture) is highly desirable.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills.
• Effective communication skills for teamwork and customer engagement.
  
  

Who You Are:

• Collaborative team player who thrives in a diverse, inclusive environment.
• Proactive learner, always eager to master new tools and methodologies.
• Detail-oriented with a strong commitment to quality and excellence.
• Natural mentor and leader, able to support and guide junior engineers.
• Resourceful thinker with a passion for solving complex technical challenges.
• Clear communicator, able to convey technical concepts to various audiences.
