What You’ll Be Doing:

• Planning and executing IP/SoC verification using UVM environments, including agents and scoreboards, to ensure comprehensive coverage and robust design validation.
• Developing behavioral models such as SV/TLM stubs, bus functional models (BFMs), checkers, and AMS-friendly models aligned with specifications.
• Writing constrained-random and directed testcases, assertions (SVA), and debugging complex issues using waveforms and logs.
• Driving code and functional coverage to target metrics, maintaining stable regression suites and continuous integration pipelines.
• Running Gate-Level Simulations (GLS) with and without SDF, performing reset, X-propagation, and low-power sanity checks.
• Collaborating closely with Design, DFT, Physical Design, and Firmware teams, and supporting emulation activities (ZeBu) as needed.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Ensuring the delivery of high-quality, reliable PVT sensing IP for integration into advanced SoC designs.
• Reducing time-to-market for critical semiconductor products by streamlining verification processes and driving coverage closure.
• Enhancing product robustness and performance through comprehensive verification and proactive issue resolution.
• Elevating Synopsys’ reputation for innovation and reliability in the semiconductor industry.
• Fostering cross-team collaboration that accelerates product development and enables successful tapeouts.
• Mentoring and empowering junior engineers, contributing to a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence.

What You’ll Need:

• Strong proficiency in Verilog, SystemVerilog, and UVM for environment development and maintenance.
• Hands-on experience with IP/SoC verification ownership, including test planning, coverage, and regression management.
• Expertise in writing and debugging SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and complex testcases.
• Experience with coverage closure (code and functional), waveform analysis, and log triage.
• Familiarity with Shell scripting, Makefiles, and Python for automation and utility development.

Who You Are:

• Analytical thinker with excellent problem-solving skills.
• Effective communicator, able to collaborate across diverse teams.
• Detail-oriented and quality-focused, with a passion for technical excellence.
• Proactive and adaptable, eager to learn and take on new challenges.
• Inclusive team player who values mentorship and knowledge sharing.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

You’ll join a high-performing verification team specializing in PVT sensing IP development for next-generation SoCs. The team is dedicated to delivering robust, scalable, and innovative solutions, working in close partnership with design, DFT, PD, and firmware groups. You’ll collaborate with experts who value technical depth, open communication, and continuous improvement, contributing to Synopsys’ leadership in the semiconductor industry.
