• Debug regression failures, analyze functional coverage gaps, and improve tests to cover those gaps.
• Collaborate with team members and guide/mentor junior engineers.
• Think creatively to stress the DUT (Design Under Test) and verify it efficiently.
• Lead documentation of verification strategy, including test plans, verification environment, and pseudo-random tests.
• Conduct reviews with design and architecture teams.
• Drive verification quality and efficiency improvements.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics or equivalent with 12+ years of experience, or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics or equivalent with 10+ years of experience.
• 10+ years of experience in developing complex verification environments, test plans, functional coverage, and pseudo-random testing.
• Experience with a full ASIC cycle, from architecture development to tapeout, with a focus on verification.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog and verification methodologies like UVM/VMM.
• Strong debug skills for analyzing regression failures and understanding complex designs.
