About the Role


We are looking for an experienced Design Verification Lead Engineer with strong expertise in PCIe and/or DDR protocols to lead verification activities for complex SoC/IP designs. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in developing verification environments, defining verification strategies, debugging complex issues and driving projects to successful completion.


Responsibilities


Lead design verification activities for complex IPs, subsystems and SoCs.
Define verification strategy, test plans, verification architecture and coverage goals.
Develop and maintain scalable SystemVerilog/UVM-based verification environments.
Work extensively on PCIe and/or DDR protocol verification.
Develop test scenarios, sequences, scoreboards, monitors, assertions and functional coverage.
Perform protocol-level verification including corner cases, error handling and stress scenarios.
Debug complex RTL, simulation and protocol issues using waveform and simulation-debug tools.
Drive functional, code and assertion coverage closure.
Collaborate closely with RTL, architecture, firmware, emulation and system teams.
Review verification plans, testbenches and verification results.
Mentor junior and senior verification engineers and provide technical guidance.
Track verification progress, identify risks and drive issues to closure.
Participate in pre-silicon verification, regression, sign-off and release activities.


Qualifications


B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related field.


Required Skills


Strong hands-on experience in SystemVerilog and UVM.
Strong understanding of digital design and RTL concepts.
Good experience with PCIe and/or DDR protocols.
Experience in developing and debugging UVM-based testbenches.
Strong knowledge of functional coverage, assertions and constrained-random verification.
Experience with simulation, regression and waveform-debug tools.
Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
Experience working on complex IP, subsystem or SoC-level verification.


Preferred Skills


PCIe
Strong understanding of PCIe architecture and protocol layers.
Experience with PCIe Gen3/Gen4/Gen5/Gen6 is highly desirable.
Knowledge of LTSSM, configuration, enumeration, TLP/DLLP, flow control, error handling and link training.
Experience verifying PCIe Root Complex / Endpoint / Switch functionality is a plus.
DDR
Strong understanding of DDR4/DDR5/LPDDR protocols and architecture.
Experience with memory controller / PHY verification.
Knowledge of initialization, training, calibration, timing and power-management scenarios.
Experience with protocol compliance and corner-case verification.
