Design Verification Manager

Responsibilities

• Complete ownership of IP/subsystem/SOC DV ownership right from spec definition till the post silicon verification and solving the customer issues on need basis. This includes:
• Build, Mentor and scale high preforming verification team across IP, Subsystem and SoC level
• Lead verification activities for overall verification strategy, methodology, infrastructure and execution plans across multiple SoC programs.
• Verification strategy definition along with Verification plan to meet 100% spec to regression traceability along with signoff metrics.
• IP/SS/SOC verification covering functional and Firmware scenarios in RTL/PARTL, GLS/PAGLS modes.
• DV Environment ownership: TB development/enhancements including checkers and coverage monitor definitions along with DV flow updates as per the project needs
• Active collaboration with cross functional teams -Architecture, RTL, PD, DFT, Systems, Analog, FW and application teams -to enable the Verification goals for IP/Subsystem/SOC starting from spec definition till post silicon verification closure activities
• Final SoC DV signoff based on Regressions, coverage metrics, DV to spec traceability using C and/or SV-UVM adhering to ISO26262 guidelines
• Active involvement in the customer reviews and certifications (ISO26262/ISO21434).

Qualifications

• 8+ years of DV experience in IP/SS/SOC/Post silicon DV with a Bachelor or Master’s degree in EE/ECE/CS or related specializations

Skills

• Strong people management skills along with experience in leading DV projects
• First pass success silicon success enablement by working closely with team members as well as various cross functional teams
• Experience in one or more of the following areas: C-based SoC design verification (DV), firmware verification exposure, scripting knowledge (Perl/Python/AI/ML based DV), DV flow ownership for functional/firmware verification, deep understanding of UVM/SystemVerilog, Specman, GLS/PAGLS/CPF/UPF based verification, post-silicon verification, etc.
• Thorough knowledge of standard protocols, such as AXI, AHB, APB, CAN, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART, and high-speed interfaces like CSI and Ethernet.
• Work experience in a C-based environment with complex ARM/DSP multi-processor systems, including power-aware simulations, is a significant plus.
• Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals, computer organization and architectures, and bus protocols.
• Excellent Analytical, debugging skills with Verilog/VHDL designs.
• Good problem-solving skills.
• Experience with Cadence tools (Xcelium/vManager/Formal JG applications/safety simulator) or similar tools/DV flows.
• Proficiency in AMS, CDC digital verification, formal verification, and post-silicon verification, along with familiarity with functional safety and cybersecurity processes, would be advantageous.
• Effective communication skills to interact seamlessly with all stakeholders.
• Must be highly focused and committed to achieving project goals.
• Ability to quickly ramp up on new systems and processes while maintaining the time management skills necessary for on-time delivery.
