Lead ASIC Verification Engineer

Exp - 6+yrs 

Location - Pune

Responsibilities

• Implement and execute verification for IP blocks and sub‑systems using SystemVerilog and UVM, following established verification methodologies and plans.
• Develop and enhance UVM components, including agents, monitors, drivers, scoreboards, assertions, and functional coverage models.
• Author and execute test plans and testcases, including directed and constrained‑random tests, to validate functional correctness and corner cases.
• Contribute to verification closure, analyzing coverage results, identifying gaps, and adding tests or coverage points to meet sign‑off requirements .
• Participate in low‑power verification, assisting with UPF/CPF integration and validating power‑related scenarios under guidance.
• Assist in HW–FW co‑verification, including development and execution of C/C++ tests for simulation or prototyping platforms.
• Debug RTL issues, collaborating with design engineers to resolve functional mismatches, assertion failures, and coverage holes.
• Execute and maintain regressions, triaging failures and ensuring stability of the verification environment.
• Review specifications and design documents, raising questions and identifying potential verification risks early in the development cycle.
• Work closely with peers and senior engineers, contribute to team deliverables and continuously improving verification quality.

Qualifications / Skills

• Hands‑on experience in ASIC/IP verification, with at least one or more tape‑out cycles in a professional semiconductor environment.
• Good proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM, with experience developing test benches and testcases.
• Working knowledge of core verification concepts, including:
  • Test planning and execution
  • Directed and constrained‑random stimulus
  • Functional and code coverage
  • Basic assertion‑based verification
  • Introduction to low‑power verification concepts
• Exposure to C/C++ programming for verification or HW–FW interaction.
• Basic scripting skills (Python, Perl, or similar) for automation and debug support.
• Experience using version control and issue‑tracking tools, such as Git and Jira.
• Strong problem‑solving skills, attention to detail, and willingness to learn, with the ability to take ownership of assigned verification tasks.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills , and ability to work well within a team environment.
