Job Summary :

The Verification Manager is responsible for leading a verification team, developing and implementing verification plans for a variety of mixed-signal integrated circuit blocks and systems. The Verification Manager will closely collaborate with system, digital & physical design, embedded firmware, analog, and cross functional teams.

The role also includes technical leadership, mentoring and supervision of verification engineers, reporting to remote design sites, support to silicon validation, production test and application engineers.

Responsibilities :

- Lead, supervise, mentor, and develop a team of verification engineers across multiple projects. Manage verification team deliverables, quality, schedules, and resource allocation for concurrent projects. (20%)

- Track & report verification progress using quantitative metrics and coverage analysis. Identify and mitigate verification risks early. Report to remote verification & design teams. Coordinate with project management and cross-functional teams. (20%)

- Drive definition and implementation of comprehensive verification plans and test strategies for digital/mixed-signal integrated circuit designs. Work closely with design teams to understand micro-architecture and functional specifications. Direct detailed test plans, coverage models, and verification environments. Drive coverage closure including functional, code, and assertion-based coverage. Generate technical documentation and drive verification reviews. (20%)

- Manage design and implementation of complex testbenches using SystemVerilog and UVM methodology. Lead block and chip-level register-transfer level (RTL), gate-level and analog/mixed-signal (AMS) verification. Develop directed test cases, constrained-random verification environments and reusable verification components. Improve verification scalability and portability from project to project by environment enhancement and tools automation. Establish and manage continuous integration, regression testing, scoreboards, monitors, and checkers. (20%)

- Interface with system, digital hardware, embedded firmware, analog and cross functional teams. (10%)

- Drive adoption of advanced verification methodologies, best practices and tool evaluation. (5%)

- Technical support to silicon lab evaluation, test, product and application engineers. (5%)
