Design Verification Architect

Design Verification Architect

Location: Bengaluru, India

Experience: 1016 Years

About the Role:

We are looking for a Design Verification Architect to lead the architecture and execution of verification strategies for next-generation high-performance silicon platforms. In this role, you will define scalable verification methodologies and drive end-to-end verification for complex SoC/IP designs involving high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, and Ethernet.

You will collaborate with architecture, design, and system teams to build robust verification infrastructures using SystemVerilog and UVM, enabling first-pass silicon success for cutting-edge semiconductor products.

What You'll Do

• Architect and drive end-to-end verification strategy for complex SoC and IP designs.
• Define scalable SystemVerilog/UVM based verification environments and reusable frameworks.
• Lead verification of high-speed protocols such as PCIe, DDR, and Ethernet across subsystem and SoC levels.
• Develop advanced testbench architectures, scoreboards, checkers, coverage models, and protocol monitors.
• Define functional coverage, assertion-based verification, and debug methodologies to ensure comprehensive verification closure.
• Work closely with design, architecture, and firmware teams to review specifications and improve design quality early in the lifecycle.
• Drive verification planning, regression strategies, and performance verification across large multi-IP SoCs.
• Mentor verification engineers and promote best practices in UVM architecture and verification methodologies.
• Lead silicon bring-up support and root-cause analysis when needed.

Basic Qualifications

• BS/MS/MTech in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 1016 years of experience in ASIC/SoC Design Verification.
• Expert-level proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology.
• Strong experience verifying high-speed protocols such as PCIe, DDR, and Ethernet.
• Deep understanding of verification architecture, constrained random verification, coverage-driven verification, and assertions (SVA).
• Experience building scalable reusable UVM testbenches for complex SoC environments.
• Strong debugging skills across RTL, protocol, and system-level interactions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with PCIe Gen4/5/6, DDR4/DDR5/LPDDR, and high-speed Ethernet (10G/25G/100G+).
• Experience with SoC-level verification, subsystem integration, and multi-IP environments.
• Familiarity with formal verification, emulation, or FPGA prototyping.
• Strong scripting skills in Python, Perl, or Tcl for verification automation.
• Experience mentoring engineers and driving architecture-level verification decisions.
