We are seeking a talented and detail-oriented Design Verification Engineer to join our core team. As a DV Engineer, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the functional correctness and quality of complex IP blocks and subsystems. This role requires a deep understanding of modern verification methodologies. You will be responsible for developing sophisticated, reusable verification environments from scratch using SystemVerilog and the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).
Key Responsibilities
Analyze design specifications and collaborate with architects and RTL designers to develop comprehensive, coverage-driven verification plans.
Architect, develop, and maintain robust, scalable, and reusable UVM-based testbench environments.
Implement key testbench components, including UVM agents (drivers, monitors), scoreboards, and sequences.
Develop and execute a mix of constrained-random and directed test cases to thoroughly validate design functionality and hit complex corner cases.
Debug RTL and testbench failures, performing deep root cause analysis using waveforms and logs, and work with designers to resolve issues.
Define and implement functional coverage models (covergroups) and assertion-based checks (SVA) to measure the effectiveness of the verification effort.
Analyze coverage reports, identify verification gaps, and develop strategies to achieve 100% coverage closure.
Enhance and maintain regression suites and automate verification flows using scripting languages to improve efficiency.

Scripting: Strong scripting skills in a language like Python, Perl, or Tcl for automation.
Preferred/Desired Qualifications
Experience with C/C++ for creating reference models or for co-simulation environments.
Familiarity with formal verification techniques and tools.
Experience with Gate-Level Simulations (GLS) and debugging timing-related issues.
Knowledge of low-power verification techniques (UPF).
Prior experience contributing to post-silicon validation and debug.
