  • Meet functional spec / design guidelines 100% of the time without any deviation or limitation
  • Documentation of the tasks and work performed

Timely delivery:

  • Meeting project timelines as requested by the program manager
  • Support the team lead in intermediate tasks delivery

Team Work:

  • Participation in team work; supporting team members/lead at the time of need
  • Able to perform additional tasks in-case any team member(s) is not available

Innovation & Creativity:

  • Automate repeated tasks to save design cycle time as a necessary approach
  • Participation in technical discussion
  • training
  • forum

  • Technology: CMOS FinFet FDSOI - 28nm / 22nm / 16ff / 10nm and below
  • Strong communication skills
  • Good analytical reasoning and problem-solving skills with attention to details
  • Able to deliver the tasks on-time per quality guidelines and GANTT in every instance.
  • Required technical skills and prior design knowledge to execute the assigned tasks
  • Ability to learn new skills in-case required technical skills are not present to a level needed to execute the project

Knowledge Examples:

  • Frontend / Backend / Analog Design:a. Project experience in any of the design by executing any one of - RTL Design / Verification / DFT / Physical Design / STA / PV / Circuit Design / Analog Layout etc.b. Strong understanding of the design flow and methodologies used in designing
  • Understanding of the technical specs and assigned tasks: Understand the assigned tasks and have strong knowledge to execute the project tasks assigned by the client / manager as per shown skill
  • Additional Comments:

  • Develop and implement constrained-random verification environments using System Verilog and UVM. - Write and execute test plans, testcases, scoreboards, monitors, and coverage models. - Debug and analyze test failures to identify RTL or testbench issues. - Collaborate closely with RTL designers, architecture, and firmware teams to ensure design correctness and coverage closure. - Develop reusable verification components and contribute to the improvement of the verification infrastructure and methodology. - Analyze functional and code coverage metrics; drive coverage closure. - Participate in design and verification reviews and provide feedback on specifications and testability. Required Qualifications: - Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field. - Experience in ASIC/SoC verification using System Verilog and UVM. - Strong understanding of digital design and verification fundamentals. - Experience with simulation tools (e.g., VCS, Questa, Incisive) and waveform viewers (DVE, Verdi). - Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Perl, Shell, TCL) for automation. - Strong debugging and problem-solving skills. - Experience with version control systems (Git, Perforce) and bug tracking tools.
