Design Verification Lead

Role Overview

This is a leadership role for a highly experienced Design Verification engineer who can drive end-to-end verification for a block, subsystem, or SoC. The ideal candidate combines deep hands-on expertise in SystemVerilog/UVM with strong technical leadership, a track record of mentoring teams, and the ability to deliver robust verification outcomes on complex semiconductor programs.

Core Responsibilities

• Own and lead verification for a block, subsystem, or SoC from planning through execution and closure.
• Define, develop, and execute test plans and testbenches using constrained-random UVM methodologies to meet coverage and schedule goals.
• Debug complex functional issues and contribute across the full verification flow, including gate-level simulations.
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to a team of verification engineers.

Required Technical Experience

• 7+ years of hands-on design verification experience using SystemVerilog/UVM.
• Strong experience in IP-, subsystem-, and/or SoC-level verification.
• Hands-on expertise in one or more of the following areas: PCI Express or UCIe, CXL or NVMe, AXI, ACE or CHI, Ethernet, RoCE or RDMA, DDR or LPDDR or HBM, ARM- or RISC-V-based subsystem or SoC verification using C/Assembly, and power-aware simulations using UPF.
• Proficiency with EDA tools such as VCS, Verdi, Cadence Xcelium, SimVision, and Jasper.
• Experience with revision control systems such as Git, Perforce, and ClearCase.

Preferred Skills

• Exposure to SVA and formal verification is a plus.
• Scripting experience in Python, Perl, or TCL is an added advantage.
