Key Responsibilities :
SoC Verification & Validation
- Develop comprehensive SoC verification plans aligned with architectural specifications and design requirements.
- Create and execute C and SystemVerilog-based tests for functional and system-level verification.
- Perform processor-based verification using embedded firmware and test programs.
- Execute verification across simulation, emulation, RTL, and netlist platforms.
Firmware & System-Level Testing
- Build simulation firmware and C test scenarios to validate system-level functionality.
- Use ASIC test firmware to validate SoC behavior across different verification stages.
- Own ROM verification planning and execution, including test development and coverage analysis.
Verification Environment Development
- Develop and enhance SystemVerilog / UVM testbenches and reusable verification components.
- Create SV/UVM monitors, scoreboards, and checkers to improve coverage and debug efficiency.
- Drive automation flows for regression, coverage collection, and verification environment setup.
- Improve verification productivity through scripting, tooling, and process optimization.
Debugging & Collaboration
- Perform in-depth debugging of functional failures at block and SoC levels.
- Collaborate closely with Architecture, Design, and Firmware teams to resolve issues and refine verification strategies.
- Participate in design reviews, verification reviews, and milestone sign-offs.
- Communicate technical findings, risks, and recommendations effectively to stakeholders.
