Senior SoC Verification Engineer

Role: SoC Verification

Work Location: Remote 100%

Duration: Long Term
Implementation Partner - HCL America

Key Responsibilities

·         Block-Level Verification Ownership: Take full technical ownership of verifying 4-5 complex design blocks per project, ensuring high-quality verification sign-off.

·         Testbench & Component Development: Build and maintain verification components, test sequences, agents, scoreboards, and functional coverage models from scratch using SystemVerilog and UVM.

·         Verification Execution: Execute directed and constrained-random test scenarios, perform rigorous test debugging, and drive functional and code coverage closure.

·         Protocol Application: Apply deep working knowledge of advanced industry protocols such as UCIe (Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express) 2.0, PCIe, and Ethernet to verify complex architectural features.

·         Collaboration:  Interface smoothly with customer engineering teams and internal project leads, ensuring block-level verification aligns with the customer-owned top-level testbench infrastructure.

·         Debugging & Triage: Perform in-depth waveform analysis, protocol debugging, root-cause analysis, and regression triage using industry-standard simulators.

Required Qualifications & Skills

·         Experience: 6 to 10+ years of relevant hands-on ASIC verification experience in complex digital designs.

·         Methodologies:  Expert-level proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM, with a proven history of developing testbenches, test sequences, agents, and other components from scratch.

·      Protocol Knowledge: Hands-on verification experience with one or more high-speed protocols:

o    UCIe (Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express) 2.0

o    PCIe (Gen 4/5/6)

o    Ethernet (MAC/PCS/PMA layers)

·         Domain Background: Proven track record working on complex networking silicon, Switches, NICs, or high-performance interconnect ASICs.

·         Debugging Skills: Strong expertise in waveform analysis, protocol debugging, root-cause analysis, and regression triage using simulators (Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, or Mentor Questa).

·         Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving abilities, solid communication skills, and the capability to work autonomously in a collaborative, customer-facing environment.
