About the Job

Requirements

Engineering degree or postgraduate degree, such as B.Tech or M.Tech.
Two to five years of verification experience.
Hands-on coding experience in Verilog and SystemVerilog, and experience with a verification methodology such as UVM.
Experience with SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA), functional coverage, and coverage-driven verification.
Strong debugging skills using Verdi, including waveform, transaction-level, and protocol-level analysis and root-cause analysis.
Proficiency in one or more structured programming languages, such as C, C++, or Python.
Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving, debugging, and attention to detail.
Ability to collaborate across design, architecture, and validation teams and drive issues to resolution.
Effective written and oral communication skills and interpersonal skills for working in a geographically distributed team.
High motivation, curiosity, and a self-driven approach to learning.

Responsibilities

Contribute to end-to-end verification of subsystems with high-speed interconnect IP, including controller and PHY IP, across protocols such as Ethernet, UFS, UniPro, USB, and M-PHY, from test planning through coverage closure and sign-off.
Develop and use verification environments for synthesizable IP cores and perform verification tasks on those cores.
Understand compliance testing standards and build simulation-based compliance test suites.
Develop SystemVerilog and Verilog testbenches and test cases; run regressions, analyze coverage, and debug failures using methodologies such as UVM and formal verification.
Perform test planning, code unit-level and system-level test environments and test cases, debug tests, conduct controller-PHY IP interoperability testing, and manage regressions.
Work with AI models and build agentic verification workflows, including automated testbench creation, test planning, and coverage analysis and closure.
Collaborate across design, architecture, and validation teams and drive issues to resolution.

Desired Qualifications

Controller-PHY integration or interoperability simulation experience.
Prior experience using industry-standard verification IP (VIP).
Experience building AI agents, agentic workflows, and AI-driven engineering automation.
