Junior Verification Engineer

About the Role:

We are seeking a motivated Junior Verification Engineer to join our VLSI design and verification team.

This is an excellent opportunity for new graduates with strong academic training in digital design, verification methodologies, and SystemVerilog/UVM.

Responsibilities:

Develop and execute verification testbenches using Verilog/SystemVerilog and UVM

Implement functional and constrained-random tests for block-level and SoC-level designs

Create coverage models (functional, code, assertion-based) and drive coverage closure

Debug simulation failures, interface mismatches, and RTL issues

Write and maintain scoreboards, monitors, agents, drivers, and checkers in UVM

Review design specifications, extract test requirements, and build verification plans

Run regressions, triage failures, and document results

Collaborate closely with RTL designers, DFT, backend, and system architects

Required Qualifications:

B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field

Strong academic background in digital logic, computer architecture, and VLSI design

Hands-on experience with Verilog and SystemVerilog (labs, projects, internship)

Basic understanding of UVM methodology

Familiarity with simulation tools (VCS, QuestaSim, Xcelium or similar)

Ability to read and understand RTL code

Good analytical and debugging skills

Strong motivation to grow in advanced functional verification

Nice-to-Have Skills:

Coursework or project experience with UVM testbench development

Familiarity with assertion-based verification (SVA)

Basic scripting (Python, Perl, Shell, TCL)

Experience with coverage-driven verification

Exposure to SoC-level interfaces (AXI, PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, SPI, I2C)

What We Offer:

Full training in modern verification methodologies (UVM, SVA, CRV)

Work with cutting-edge IPs and SoC architectures

Mentorship from senior verification and architecture teams

Clear growth path toward UVM specialist, verification lead, or architect
