Soc Design Verification Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Bangalore, India

Seeking a Verification/Validation Engineer with expertise in developing testbenches for pre-silicon verification. The role involves building scalable verification environments, creating stimulus, monitoring functionality, and ensuring coverage closure using industry-standard methodologies. Requires strong System Verilog/UVM skills and experience with digital design fundamentals.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own the verification lifecycle for one or more IPs/subsystems/SoC top-level features: requirements decomposition, test plan definition, coverage strategy, execution, and signoff
  2. Develop System Verilog/UVM-based testbenches for IP, subsystem, or SoC-level verification.
  3. Create and maintain verification plans, test cases, and coverage models.
  4. Implement and integrate scoreboards, monitors, checkers, assertions, and transactors for functional correctness.
  5. Work with Verification IP (VIP) for industry-standard protocols (AMBA,AXI, UCIe, PCIe, DDR etc.) and integrate them into testbenches.
