Job Description

Meet the Team :

Join a dynamic Design Verification team responsible for delivering robust wireless modem IP and SoC solutions across multiple product programs.

We work closely with Architecture, RTL Design, DSP/Algorithm, Firmware, RF, and Post-Silicon Validation teams across global locations to ensure high-quality silicon delivery.

Collaboration, innovation, technical excellence, and continuous improvement define our culture, making this an exciting opportunity to contribute, grow, and make a significant impact.

About the Role :

We are seeking an experienced Modem Verification Engineer to join our Silicon Engineering team in Hyderabad.

In this role, you will own verification of wireless modem IP, subsystems, and SoCs, with a focus on PHY/MAC functionality, modem datapaths and control, and digital/RF interfaces.

You will develop verification plans and reusable UVM environments, create coverage-driven tests and checkers, debug complex protocol and integration failures, and drive features from specification review through sign-off.

You will also collaborate with cross-functional and global teams and improve verification methodology, automation, regression efficiency, and reusable infrastructure.

This is an excellent opportunity to solve challenging cross-layer verification problems and contribute directly to next-generation wireless connectivity products.

Responsibilities :

- Develop and execute verification plans for wireless modem IP, subsystems, and SoCs, with clear feature, coverage, and sign-off criteria.

- Build, enhance, and maintain reusable SystemVerilog/UVM verification environments, including agents, sequences, scoreboards, assertions, and coverage models.

- Create directed and constrained-random tests and drive functional and code coverage closure through systematic gap analysis.

- Verify modem datapaths and control functions, PHY/MAC interactions, digital/RF interfaces, registers, buses, memories, clocks, resets, and interrupts.

- Run and debug RTL and gate-level regressions and perform root-cause analysis of protocol, timing, and subsystem/SoC integration failures.

- Collaborate with Architecture, RTL Design, DSP/Algorithm, Firmware, RF, and Post-Silicon Validation teams across global sites.

- Own assigned features from specification review through verification closure and sign-off, with proactive communication of status, risks, and dependencies.

- Improve verification productivity through scripting, regression automation, continuous integration, reusable infrastructure, and metrics-driven debug.

- Participate in architecture, design, test-plan, and coverage reviews and provide clear technical feedback early in the development cycle.

- Analyze regression and coverage metrics, identify issues early, and drive failures to closure with the appropriate cross-functional owners.

- Contribute to team knowledge sharing, verification best practices, and mentoring of junior engineers.

Requirements :

- Typically 5 - 8 years of hands-on ASIC/SoC Design Verification experience; candidates with greater experience and strong role alignment will also be considered.

- Strong expertise in SystemVerilog, UVM, constrained-random verification, SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA), functional coverage, and regression management.

- Experience verifying wireless modem or connectivity IP at block, subsystem, or SoC level.

- Good understanding of PHY/MAC architecture, digital design fundamentals, SoC architecture, and digital/RF integration.

- Strong debug skills using tools such as Verdi, DVE, or SimVision and simulators such as VCS, Xcelium, or Questa.

- Proficiency in C/C++ and scripting with Python, Tcl, or Shell for test development, modeling, and automation.

- Ability to work independently, solve complex cross-layer issues, and communicate effectively with cross-functional and geographically distributed teams.

Preferred Qualifications :

- Experience with Wi-Fi and/or low-power wireless technologies such as BLE, Zigbee, Thread, or Matter.

- Knowledge of DSP and communication-system fundamentals and experience working with MATLAB, Simulink, or algorithm reference models.

- Experience with gate-level simulation, SDF timing debug, CDC/RDC analysis, or low-power verification methodologies such as UPF.

- Experience with formal verification, emulation, FPGA prototyping, performance verification, or hardware-software co-verification.

- Experience with Git-based development, Jenkins or other CI workflows, scalable regression infrastructure, and data-driven verification automation.

- Experience with artificial intelligence (AI) powered tools and technologies used to enhance productivity, analysis, and decision-making.

Benefits & Perks :

Not only will you be joining a highly skilled and tight-knit team where every engineer makes a significant impact on the product; we also strive for good work/life balance and to make our environment welcoming and fun.

- Equity Rewards (RSUs).

- Insurance plans with Outpatient cover.

- National Pension Scheme (NPS).

- Flexible work policy.

- Childcare support.
