Design Verification Lead

Key Responsibilities: Min 8+ years experience required.

Location: Hyderabad/Bangalore

Verification Architecture & Planning

Define and execute verification strategy for subsystems: o SPI, UART, I2C o Audio interfaces (I2S, TDM) o Power management digital controllers

Develop test plans with full functional and corner-case coverage

Identify verification risks and coverage gaps early

UVM-Based Verification Development

Build and maintain UVM/System Verilog testbenches Develop: o Reusable VIPs and monitors o Scoreboards and checkers o Constrained-random stimulus

Implement protocol-aware verification components

Coverage & Quality • Drive: o Functional coverage o Code coverage (line, toggle, FSM)

Ensure closure of: o Coverage goals o Assertion checks

Track and report verification metrics

Debug & Validation

Debug RTL issues and root-cause failures

Work closely with RTL engineers on bug fixes and improvements

Support post-silicon validation with test reuse where applicable

System-Level Verification

Contribute to SoC-level verification: o Subsystem integration scenarios o Firmware-driven tests • Validate interactions across clock, reset, and power domains

Required Qualifications

8+years of DV experience in SoC/subsystem verification

Strong expertise in: o System Verilog and UVM o Functional coverage and assertions (SVA) • Experience verifying: o AMBA protocols (AXI/AHB/APB) o Peripheral interfaces (SPI, UART, I2C, I2S/TDM preferred)

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with mixed-signal verification environments (AMS co-sim is a plus)

Exposure to low-power verification (UPF/CPF)

Familiarity with ARM Cortex-M33 or RISC-V SoCs
