• Contribute to verification architecture, planning, integration strategy and quality criteria.
• Architect reusable, scalable and high-performance SystemVerilog/UVM environments and verification IP.
• Define verification plans, coverage models, sign-off criteria and measurable quality goals for the owned verification scope.
• Identify technical and schedule risks early, establish mitigation plans and drive them to resolution across teams.
• Review proposed architecture and design changes for correctness, observability, testability, performance and verification complexity.
• Lead the resolution of complex unit-level, cross-unit, integration or system-level failures.
• Align verification activities and dependencies across the relevant unit, subsystem and DPU teams.
• Drive improvements in verification methodology, automation, reuse, regression efficiency, debug and continuous integration.
