SoC Verification

The Verification role will involve many aspects of functional verification using most effective methodologies in context of Subsystem/SoC/System Level. A strong ability to map requirements into a traceable verification plan is important. Responsibilities encompass the development of verification test bench, development of verification components, test case development for simulation , debugging failures and creating simulation cases for various scenarios

Expectations include:

• Verification planning;
• Development of verification test bench components such as drivers, monitors, response checkers as well as use most advanced UVM VIPs
• Development of direct and constrained-random stimulus
• Understands and analyzes RTL code, functional, assertion coverage results
• Understands and develops system Verilog assertions
• Strong skills in debug, failure re-creation and root cause analysis
• Applicant should have efficient debugging and logic skills

BTech/MTech with 5-10 years experience in SOC/Subsystem verification of complex multi-million gate designs with multiple clocks/power domains. Experience in below areas with strong hands on knowledge in below areas is needed

• C and UVM/SV based test environment,
• HDLs (Verilog/VHDL), simulators (Synopsys/Cadence/Mentor)
• Understanding of the design/architecture and ability to debug RTL/Gate netlist
• Coverage driven verification , regression management
• Microcontroller architecture, ARM Cores, Interconnect(NIC, FlexNoC), Cache Coherency
• Bus Protocols like AHB, AXI, ACE
• Following skills will have additional value:
  • Memory controllers (Flash, SRAM,DDR3/4/LPDDR) 
  • Protocols like PCIe, MIPI, GPU (Graphics processing), VPU (Video Processing), Ethernet, USB, Image
  • Formal verification methodologies and Apps, AVIP, PinMuxing Verification, Randomization
  • Low Power intent verification using CPF, UPF
