Job Summary

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Design Verification Engineer with strong experience in Ethernet IP/SoC verification. The candidate will work closely with architecture, RTL design, and system teams to develop and execute comprehensive verification strategies for high-speed Ethernet subsystems and networking IPs.

Key Responsibilities

• Understand architecture and RTL specifications of Ethernet IP/SoC components and develop verification strategies.
• Develop verification plans, test environments, and test cases for Ethernet subsystems and IP blocks.
• Build and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM based verification environments including testbench, drivers, monitors, checkers, and scoreboards.
• Execute simulations, regressions, and debug failures to identify root causes.
• Implement functional coverage, code coverage, and assertion-based verification methodologies.
• Work closely with RTL designers to debug and resolve design issues.
• Participate in SoC/IP level verification and bring-up activities.
• Contribute to verification automation, infrastructure improvements, and reusable verification components.
• Track bugs, coverage closure, and verification metrics to ensure tape-out quality.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC Design Verification.
• Strong hands-on experience with:
• SystemVerilog and UVM methodology
• Functional verification and coverage-driven verification
• Assertion-based verification (SVA)
• Strong knowledge of Ethernet protocols and architecture (MAC, PHY, SerDes).
• Experience verifying Ethernet IPs, high-speed networking interfaces, or switching subsystems.
• Experience with simulation tools such as VCS, Questa, or Xcelium.
• Strong debugging and analytical skills.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with AXI/APB/AMBA protocols.
• Knowledge of PTP (IEEE 1588), RoCE, or high-speed Ethernet standards (100G/400G).
• Experience with emulation platforms or FPGA prototyping.
• Scripting experience in Python/Perl/TCL for verification automation.

Nice to Have

• Experience developing UVM environments from scratch.
• Exposure to networking stacks or data center networking architectures.
• Experience in post-silicon validation or system-level debugging.
