SoC Verification Senior Lead Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Verification Engineer with 12+ years of experience for execution of SoC verification of complex SoCs. The ideal candidate will have deep knowledge of ARM-based microcontrollers, low-power design verification, and experience with multiple interfaces and security IPs. This is a hands-on role requiring strong technical skills and collaboration in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities

• Develop and own SoC-level and/or IP-level verification suites with coverage goals.
• Responsible for executing verification plan according to the product specification and verification requirements defined by product architects.
• Responsible for developing, debugging and running UVM based verification environment for RTL/netlist simulation.
• Define and develop test cases in an appropriate verification framework.
• Create stimulus and assertions, run simulation, debug test cases on the design models (RTL, power aware RTL, gate level, FPGA, Emulation platform), run regression, collect and analyze code/functional coverage
• DV closure on diverse IPs and subsystems, ensuring maximum coverage and quality.
• Good understanding of formal verification techniques and methodologies.
• Familiar with both SoC-level and IP-level verification environments.
• Collaborate with the team in developing and improving flows for maximum reuse and efficiency.
• Mentor junior team members while actively collaborating with design teams for issue resolution and sign-off.

Requirements

• Experience: 12-15 years in SoC/IP verification with participation in successful tape-outs of SoCs.
• Strong expertise in ARM-based microcontrollers and SoC-level verification, including C based DV.
• Proficiency in Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, and constrained-random verification.
• Familiarity with EDA tools (Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium).
• Experience with low-power verification (UPF) is a must.
• Gate-level simulations and power-aware simulations is a must.
• Good working knowledge of assertions (SVA) and functional coverage.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong team player with excellent communication skills.
• Bachelors or Master’s in Microelectronics, Electronics, Electrical Engineering More information about NXP in India... #LI-29f4

Preferred

• SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, eSPI is desirable.
• Knowledge of Flash memory and security IPs is nice to have.
• Any experience with common Analog IPs in microcontroller design (ADC, DAC, PLLs) is an added advantage.
