Design Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain UVM-based verification environments for IP and SoC-level verification 
• Define, implement, and execute verification test plans based on design and architecture specifications 
• Develop SystemVerilog (SV) UVM test cases and testbench components for functional verification 
• Perform simulation runs, debug RTL and testbench issues, and analyze functional failures 
• Verify SoC subsystems including DMA/DMAC, SRAM memory controllers, interrupt systems, and fault management blocks 
• Implement and validate fault injection scenarios, including ECC/parity error handling and interrupt propagation mechanisms 
• Ensure correct behavior of interrupt systems (masking, prioritization, clearing) 
• Perform coverage analysis (code and functional) and drive verification closure 
• Work on AMBA protocol verification (APB, AHB, AXI), including burst transfers, pipelining, wait states, and protocol compliance 
• Develop and maintain slave/memory model driver logic for verification environments
• Execute regression testing, failure analysis, and cleanup activities 
• Collaborate with design, architecture, and verification teams to debug and resolve issues 
• Develop automation scripts using Perl (and optionally Python/TCL) 
• Perform waveform analysis and debugging using simulation tools 
• Apply assertion-based verification (SVA) techniques where applicable 
• Support Gate Level Simulation (GLS) environments when required 

Requirements:

• At least 4 to 6 years of experience
• Minimum 4 years of experience in Design Verification (SoC/IP level) 
• Strong expertise in SystemVerilog (SV) and UVM 
• Solid understanding of UVM testbench architecture (driver, monitor, scoreboard, sequences, etc.) 
• Hands-on experience building and debugging UVM-based verification environments 
• Strong programming skills in SystemVerilog and Perl (Python/TCL is a plus) 
• Good understanding of AMBA protocols (APB, AHB, AXI) 
• Experience in SoC-level verification (DMA, SRAM controllers, interrupts, fault management) 
• Knowledge of ECC/parity error handling and interrupt verification 
• Basic understanding of GLS (Gate Level Simulation) 
• Familiarity with assertion-based verification (SVA) 
• Experience in regression, debugging, and coverage closure 
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills 
• Good communication and teamwork skills
