ABOUT PROXELERA

Proxelera does end-to-end chip design from India, specification through silicon. Most chip companies use their India centres for validation or one slice of the process. Proxelera was built on the opposite idea: the whole system, owned ground up, in country. Over 190 engineers across the Bengaluru and Mysuru design centres, working on AI, DSP, AMS and wireless networking silicon.

THE ROLE

As a Verification Lead you will shape the verification strategy for AI, DSP and AMS chips, taking ownership of verification for subsystems and SoCs.

Also a fit if you call yourself: Verification Architect, Hands-on Verification Manager.

THE WORK

• Own the verification strategy for a subsystem or SoC, defining what sign-off means and keeping teams aligned on it.

• Design and implement the testbench architecture that other engineers build on.

• Lead failure triage and root-cause analysis, mentoring verification engineers at a range of experience levels.

• Estimate effort and manage schedules, delivering verification milestones on time without dropping quality.

• Work across functions to integrate verification with overall project goals, addressing challenges as they come up.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• You have led verification strategy for a subsystem or SoC, owning it rather than executing someone else's plan.

• Deep SystemVerilog and UVM expertise, with a current understanding of best practice.

• Failure triage and root-cause analysis experience, with a track record of mentoring engineers at different levels.

• Hands-on experience building or owning testbench architecture that others have used.

EVEN BETTER IF

• You have driven coverage closure to sign-off on a part that taped out.

• You have worked across complex IPs such as interconnects, memory controllers, DMA, PCIe, USB, Ethernet and DDR.

• You are familiar with formal methods applied to real properties, and you have set coding standards or automation that outlived your tenure.

WHO THRIVES HERE

You take ownership of complex problems and want to influence the verification process from the ground up. You work well where communication and mentorship drive team success, you like building systems and processes that support current and future projects, and you are comfortable navigating customer-driven programs.

THE TEAM

You will be part of a team led by Raghavendra Mohan V, who oversees delivery and operations. The verification team is a critical part of Proxelera's mission, and you will work closely with engineers across disciplines.

COMPENSATION AND LOGISTICS

Full-time, on-site five days a week, Bangalore. The hiring team will share compensation details directly. Benefits include health insurance, paid time off and professional development support.
