20 Gbps) and BER performance requirements higher. Automotive functional safety requirements demand robust performance at these high data rates under challenging environments while maintaining low power consumption.
The Broader Mission: As part of this product group, you will be engaged in designing solutions spanning Analog, Digital, and Signal Processing domains to mitigate impairments such as high channel loss, ESD strikes, and narrowband interference. The team implements high-performance equalization circuits (CTLE, FFE, DFE), high-speed converters (DAC, ADC), high-speed digital front-ends, signal processing algorithms, embedded microcontrollers, and high-speed interfaces for camera and display systems. The team has successfully achieved several differentiated innovations through collaborative cross-domain optimization.
The entire product lifecycle — from product specification to customer and application support — is owned by the product group in Bangalore , giving each team member tremendous learning opportunity and enhanced scope to influence the global success of the product. We are looking for passionate, creative, and self-driven engineers who challenge traditional techniques and come up with innovative solutions to make a difference.
Role Overview
As a Design Verification Engineer , you are the last line of defense before silicon. You will lead functional, formal, and system-level verification of complex mixed-signal Ser Des So Cs — ensuring every block, subsystem, and top-level integration meets the stringent quality, safety, and performance requirements of automotive and industrial applications.
Key Responsibilities
Develop comprehensive Verification Plans covering block-level, subsystem, and full-chip So C verification
Build and maintain advanced UVM testbenches with constrained-random stimulus, functional coverage, and protocol checkers for Ser Des, Ethernet MAC/PHY, and embedded microcontroller subsystems
Apply assertion-based verification (ABV) using System Verilog Assertions (SVA) for critical protocol and timing properties
Execute formal verification (model checking, property checking) for control logic, FSMs, and safety-critical paths using tools like Jasper Gold or VC Formal
Lead system-level verification of mixed-signal So C integration — incorporating analog behavioral models (Verilog-AMS / System C) for full end-to-end simulations
Define, track, and close functional coverage metrics — ensuring coverage-driven verification closure across all blocks and integration levels
Collaborate with design, silicon validation, and systems teams to triage and resolve functional issues through simulation and debug
Ensure compliance with automotive functional safety standards (ISO 26262, ASIL-B/D) throughout the verification lifecycle
Contribute to regression infrastructure , CI/CD flows, and verification methodology improvements
✅ Required Qualifications
Education: B. Tech / M. Tech in Electronics / VLSI / Computer Engineering
Experience: 5–10 years of design verification experience on complex digital/mixed-signal So Cs

Hands-on experience with assertion-based verification (SVA)
Working knowledge of formal verification tools (Jasper Gold, VC Formal, or equivalent)
Experience with functional coverage definition, measurement, and closure
Strong debugging skills using industry simulators (VCS, Xcelium, Questa)
Preferred / Good-to-Have Skills
Experience verifying mixed-signal So Cs using analog behavioral models (Verilog-AMS)
Familiarity with automotive functional safety requirements (ISO 26262, ASIL-B/D)
Knowledge of Ser Des / Ethernet PHY / FPD-Link protocol verification
Background in hardware emulation (Palladium, Protium) for system-level verification acceleration
Experience with regression management and CI/CD-based verification flows
