Validation & Verification Hardware Engineer

Role Overview We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated Hardware/Design Verification Engineer to join a high-performance semiconductor verification team. This is an Individual Contributor (IC) role focused on verification of next-generation high-speed controller IPs and subsystems including PCIe, DDR/LPDDR, CXL, Ethernet, and AMBA-based peripherals. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in UVM/SystemVerilog-based verification methodologies, hands-on experience with complex HPC protocols, and the ability to independently develop, execute, and debug verification environments and test cases. Key Responsibilities Develop and execute verification plans for complex controller/IP verification projects. Build and enhance UVM/SystemVerilog-based verification environments. Create reusable testbenches, sequences, scoreboards, checkers, assertions, and coverage models. Define, develop, and execute new test cases from scratch. Work on verification of high-speed protocols such as: PCIe (Gen5/Gen6/Gen7) CXL DDR / LPDDR High-Speed Ethernet AMBA peripherals Utilize protocol VIPs effectively for simulation and validation activities. Perform debugging, root-cause analysis, and issue resolution independently. Collaborate with design, architecture, and validation teams to ensure functional correctness and coverage closure. Support regression execution, coverage analysis, and verification sign-off activities. Work with Synopsys simulation tools and verification flows. Required Skills & Qualifications Strong hands-on experience in: SystemVerilog (SV) UVM methodology Experience with one or more complex HPC protocols: PCIe DDR / LPDDR Ethernet CXL Good understanding of protocol VIP integration and usage. Experience in writing and debugging complex test cases independently. Strong debugging and problem-solving skills. Familiarity with coverage-driven verification methodologies. Ability to work effectively within a collaborative team environment while maintaining autonomous debug capability. Experience with Synopsys simulators and verification flows. Preferred Skills Knowledge of assertion-based verification (SVA). Exposure to performance verification and stress testing. Experience with AMBA protocols and subsystem verification. Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or Shell scripting. Education~ Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field….
