Lead CPU Verification Engineer

Lead CPU Verification Engineer

Location: Bengaluru

Experience: 6–12 Years

Role Overview

We are looking for a Lead CPU Verification Engineer to drive verification of complex CPU cores and subsystems. The role requires deep expertise in microarchitecture, constrained-random verification, SystemVerilog/UVM, and coverage-driven verification.

Key Responsibilities

• Own verification strategy for CPU core / CPU subsystem from planning through signoff.
• Develop scalable SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches, sequences, checkers, assertions and coverage models.
• Verify pipeline, caches, MMU, interrupts, exceptions, coherency and memory subsystem.
• Drive directed, constrained-random, stress and corner-case testing.
• Develop functional and assertion-based coverage and close verification gaps.
• Debug complex RTL, simulation and CPU architectural issues using waveform and log analysis.
• Drive CPU reference-model / RTL correlation and verification signoff.
• Mentor engineers and lead verification methodology improvements.

Core Technical Skills

• 6–12 years in CPU / SoC Design Verification.
• Strong SystemVerilog, UVM, SVA expertise.
• Deep understanding of CPU microarchitecture and instruction execution.
• Experience with RISC-V / ARM / x86 architectures.
• Strong functional coverage, assertions, scoreboards and reference models.
• Hands-on C/C++ and Python for test generation and automation.
• Experience with formal verification, emulation or FPGA prototyping is a plus.

Ideal Profile: A hands-on verification leader who can architect the verification environment, solve deep CPU-level bugs, and drive coverage and signoff for production-class CPU designs.
