Job Type: Full-time

We are looking for an experienced **Senior Design Verification Engineer** to drive verification activities for **CPU and SoC subsystems** using industry-standard verification methodologies and tools. The role requires strong hands-on expertise in **SystemVerilog, UVM, CPU verification, and ASIC/SoC design verification**, with practical experience across modern processor architectures such as **RISC-V, ARM, x86, or custom CPU cores**.

The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of CPU architecture, cache coherency, pipeline execution, AMBA protocols, and verification environments, along with the ability to develop robust testbenches, debug complex failures, and contribute to verification strategy and execution.

## Requirements

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

-   Develop and execute comprehensive **CPU and SoC design verification** strategies and test plans.
-   Build, enhance, and maintain **UVM-based verification environments** using SystemVerilog.
-   Develop reusable verification components, sequences, scoreboards, monitors, checkers, and coverage models.
-   Verify CPU functionality across architectures such as **RISC-V, ARM, x86, or custom processor cores**.
-   Develop test scenarios covering CPU pipeline execution, interrupts, exceptions, memory ordering, and architectural behaviour.
-   Verify **cache coherency** and CPU/SoC subsystem interactions.
-   Develop and execute verification for **AMBA protocols**, including AXI, AHB, ACE, and CHI.
-   Run simulations using industry-standard EDA tools such as **VCS, Xcelium, and Questa**.
-   Analyse simulation failures, debug complex functional issues, and identify root causes in RTL, testbench, or design behaviour.
-   Develop functional and code coverage models and track verification completeness.
-   Collaborate with RTL designers and architects to understand specifications and resolve design issues.
-   Develop automation and productivity tools using **Python, Perl, and TCL**.
-   Write and execute low-level tests using **RISC-V or ARM Assembly and C/C++** where required.
-   Support regression infrastructure, test execution, failure triage, and verification reporting.
-   Contribute to verification methodology improvements, reusable infrastructure, and automation initiatives.
-   Support advanced verification activities involving **power-aware verification using UPF/CPF**, where applicable.
-   Contribute to verification of high-speed interfaces such as **PCIe, CXL, and DDR**.
-   Support emulation-based verification using platforms such as **Palladium, Veloce, or Zebu**, where required.
-   Mentor junior verification engineers and contribute to technical reviews and knowledge sharing.

WHAT MAKES YOU A GREAT FIT

-   **5+ years of total ASIC/SoC Design Verification experience**, including at least **2+ years of dedicated CPU verification** experience.
-   Strong hands-on expertise in **SystemVerilog and UVM**.
-   Practical CPU verification experience with **RISC-V, ARM, x86, or custom processor architectures**.
-   Strong understanding of **CPU architecture, pipeline execution, cache coherency, memory ordering, interrupts, and exceptions**.
-   Hands-on experience with **AMBA protocols**, particularly AXI, AHB, ACE, and/or CHI.
-   Experience with EDA simulation tools such as **Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, or Siemens Questa**.
-   Strong experience developing UVM testbenches, sequences, monitors, scoreboards, assertions, and coverage models.
-   Working knowledge of **RISC-V/ARM Assembly, C/C++, Python, Perl, and TCL scripting**.
-   Understanding of **out-of-order execution** and modern processor verification concepts.
-   Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
-   Ability to analyse complex simulation failures and drive issues through resolution.
-   Strong communication and collaboration skills across Design, Architecture, Firmware, and Verification teams.
-   Experience with **UPF/CPF and power-aware verification** is an advantage.
-   Exposure to **PCIe, CXL, DDR, or other high-speed interconnects** is an advantage.
-   Experience with **Palladium, Veloce, Zebu, or other emulation platforms** is an advantage.
-   B.Tech/M.Tech in **Electronics, VLSI, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline** is preferred.
