We are looking for a skilled SoC Design Verification Engineer with strong hands-on expertise in PCIe Gen5 protocol verification to contribute to pre-silicon verification of complex semiconductor designs.

The role involves verifying PCIe functionality across IP, subsystem, SoC, and full-chip levels using SystemVerilog and UVM. The ideal candidate will have strong protocol knowledge, excellent debugging capabilities, and experience driving verification coverage and sign-off for complex SoC designs.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

• Develop detailed verification plans, test scenarios, and test strategies for PCIe Gen5 functionality.
• Build, enhance, and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM-based verification environments.
• Verify PCIe protocol functionality across IP, subsystem, SoC, and full-chip levels.
• Validate key PCIe features including LTSSM, link training, TLP, DLLP, enumeration, configuration, and error handling.
• Perform functional, protocol compliance, and integration-level verification.
• Develop SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and functional coverage models.
• Execute simulation regressions and analyze failures to drive coverage closure.
• Debug complex PCIe protocol, RTL, and integration issues across multiple design levels.
• Collaborate closely with RTL designers, architects, firmware engineers, and other verification teams.
• Identify verification gaps and contribute to improving test environments, methodologies, and automation.
• Track coverage, defects, and verification progress throughout the project lifecycle.
• Support SoC/full-chip verification sign-off and ensure verification objectives are achieved before tape-out.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 4+ years of experience in semiconductor design verification or a related field.
• Mandatory: Strong hands-on experience in PCIe Gen5 protocol verification.
• Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM.
• Proven experience in SoC/full-chip pre-silicon verification.
• Strong understanding of PCIe architecture and protocol concepts, including LTSSM, TLP, DLLP, link training, enumeration, configuration, and error handling.
• Strong hands-on experience with protocol-level debugging and RTL issue analysis.
• Experience developing verification plans, test scenarios, assertions, functional coverage, and regression environments.
• Demonstrated ability to drive coverage closure and verification sign-off.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with excellent attention to detail.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with RTL, architecture, firmware, and cross-functional verification teams.
• Experience working on complex SoC or high-speed interface verification projects is highly desirable.
