Verification Planning & Execution
- Define comprehensive verification strategies and verification plans based on architecture and design specifications.
- Develop and execute block-level, subsystem-level, and SoC-level verification environments.
- Drive verification closure through functional, code, assertion, and toggle coverage metrics.
- Create test plans, verification testcases, and sign-off criteria.
Testbench Development
- Architect and develop scalable SystemVerilog/UVM-based verification environments.
- Design reusable Verification Components (UVCs), scoreboards, checkers, monitors, and reference models.
- Develop constrained-random, directed, and scenario-based tests.
- Integrate third-party VIPs and custom verification IPs.
Assertion & Formal Verification
- Develop SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) for protocol and functional checking.
- Utilize assertion-based verification techniques to improve bug detection efficiency.
- Collaborate with formal verification teams for property development and closure.
Debug & Root Cause Analysis
- Analyze simulation failures and identify RTL, testbench, or architectural issues.
- Work closely with design and architecture teams to resolve functional and performance-related bugs.
- Lead complex debug activities across multiple IPs and subsystems.
Coverage & Sign-Off
- Define and track functional coverage models.
- Drive functional, code, assertion, and cross-coverage closure.
- Review verification metrics and provide sign-off recommendations.
- Ensure compliance with overall project verification and quality goals.
SoC Verification
- Lead end-to-end verification of large SoCs including:
- Interconnect and fabric verification
- Cache coherency verification
- Memory subsystem verification
- Boot and reset validation
- Low-power verification
- Performance and stress testing
Leadership & Mentoring
- Provide technical leadership to verification teams.
- Mentor junior and senior engineers on UVM, verification methodologies, and debug techniques.
- Participate in hiring, technical interviews, and project planning.
- Drive best practices and verification process improvements.
