About the job
Job Title: Senior Design Verification Engineer – IP/So C/Processor/GLS
Experience: 5 to 18 Years
Location: Bangalore
Company: ACL Digital
Job Type: Full-Time | Permanent
Domain: Semiconductor – Design Verification
Job Summary:
ACL is hiring experienced Design Verification Engineers with a strong background in IP and So C-level verification , along with specialization in one or more of the following areas: processor/microarchitecture verification , high-speed interfaces (e.g., PCIe, USB, DDR) , or GLS (Gate-Level Simulation) . This role involves ownership of verification strategy, planning, and execution in pre-silicon environments using industry-leading tools and methodologies.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop and execute detailed verification plans for IP blocks, subsystems, or So Cs.
Design and build System Verilog/UVM-based testbenches , scoreboards, monitors, and drivers.
Write and maintain directed and constrained-random test cases .
Perform GLS (Gate-Level Simulation) with SDF back-annotation, reset validation, scan chain checking, and X-propagation analysis.
Verify processor cores or custom pipelines, including cache/memory subsystems, MMUs, and coherency.
Validate high-speed protocols (e.g., PCIe Gen4/Gen5, USB 3.x, DDR3/4/5, LPDDR, CXL).
Debug RTL and testbench issues using waveforms, logs, and assertions.
Collaborate with RTL, DFT, STA, firmware, and post-silicon teams to drive quality and coverage closure.
Analyze functional/code/line/branch/coverage metrics and drive closure.
Automate regressions and result analysis using scripting languages (Python, Perl, Shell, Tcl).
Contribute to methodology improvements , tool evaluation, and reusable IP verification components.
Required Skills & Qualifications:
B. E./B. Tech or M. E./M. Tech in Electronics, Electrical, or Computer Engineering.
5–15 years of experience in ASIC/IP/So C/Processor Design Verification .
Expertise in System Verilog , UVM , and constrained-random verification.
Hands-on experience with simulation tools : VCS, Xcelium, Questa, Verdi, etc.
Proven track record in any one or more of the following:
Processor/Microarchitecture Verification (pipelines, instruction decode, coherency, etc.)
High-speed Protocol Verification (PCIe, DDR, USB, Ethernet, CXL, etc.)
GLS Verification (Zero-delay and SDF annotated simulations, scan chain checks, X-handling)
Strong debugging skills and understanding of design specs and verification architecture.
Proficient in scripting (Python, Perl, Shell, or Tcl) for test automation.
Familiar with DFT/scan concepts , low power (UPF) , and assertion-based verification (SVA) .
Good to Have:
Experience in ARM-based So Cs or RISC-V CPU verification .
Exposure to formal verification , LEC , or static verification tools .
Knowledge of post-silicon validation , FPGA prototyping , or emulation .
Experience leading small teams or mentoring junior engineers.
