Hardware emulation or FPGA prototyping (e.g., Palladium, Veloce)
CI tooling and coverage tooling experience (Jenkins, GitLab CI)
Location & work type: India, on-site

Note: Role focuses on end-to-end verification for tapeout-quality RTL in a high-vel

Full Description

Industry & Sector: Semiconductor / ASIC & SoC design and verification. We build complex digital IPs and full-chip RTL for high-performance embedded, connectivity, and compute applications—delivering silicon-ready verification environments, regression infrastructure, and release-quality verification sign-offs.

Primary Job Title: ASIC/SoC Design Verification Engineer

Location: India (On-site)

About The Opportunity

We are hiring a hands-on Design Verification Engineer to join a high-velocity ASIC/SoC verification team. You will create and execute verification plans, develop reusable UVM testbenches, automate regressions, and drive closure for functional coverage and verification sign-off for tapeout-quality RTL.

Role & Responsibilities

Author and maintain UVM-based verification environments and testbenches for block and subsystem-level RTL verification. Design and implement constrained-random tests, assertions, directed tests, and functional coverage models to meet verification goals. Plan, run, and automate nightly/CI regressions; triage simulation failures and drive root-cause analysis to closure. Collaborate with RTL designers and firmware teams to identify corner cases, develop verification plans, and debug issues using waveform and trace tools. Integrate verification IPs, build verification harnesses for SoC-level verification, and support emulation or FPGA bring-up as required. Prepare verification metrics, coverage closure reports, and sign-off documentation for design milestones.

Skills & Qualifications

Must-Have (Technical skills)

AMBA (AXI, APB, AHB) is mandatory PCIe protocol knowledge & working experience is highly desirable. SystemVerilog Universal Verification Methodology SystemVerilog Assertions Coverage-driven verification Constrained-random verification Synopsys VCS Mentor Questa Python scripting

Must-Have (Qualifications)

Proven track record in RTL verification for ASIC/SoC projects and ownership of verification deliverables. Strong debugging experience with simulation waveforms, assertion failures, and regression results.

Preferred

Formal verification experience (e.g., JasperGold) Hardware emulation or FPGA prototyping experience (e.g., Palladium, Veloce) Experience with coverage closure tooling and CI integration (Jenkins, GitLab CI)

Benefits & Culture Highlights

Collaborative engineering culture with clear ownership and fast feedback cycles. Opportunities to work end-to-end on tapeout-quality projects and influence verification architecture. On-site, hands-on role with exposure to latest EDA flows and silicon bring-up activities.

To apply: Candidates based in India who can work on-site and bring strong hands-on verification experience are encouraged to apply through Viraaj HR Solutions. We prioritize engineers who combine practical verification skills with a discipline for automation and measurable coverage closure.
