Lead Design Verification Engineer

Altera; Bengaluru; On-site; INR 1,800,000 - 2,400,000; Full time

Job summary

Altera in Bengaluru seeks an experienced FPGA verification engineer to ensure pre-silicon designs meet specifications. You will craft verification plans, test benches, and environments, and run system simulations to reveal bugs and optimize timing.

You will collaborate with FPGA architects, RTL developers, and physical design teams to enhance verification across complex architectures and enable feature coverage through gate-level and power-aware simulations.

Qualifications

• BS, MS or PhD in Electrical or Computer Science Engineering or related field with 8+ years of technical experience.
• Related technical experience should be in/with: Pre Silicon Validation/Verification.
• OVM/UVM, System Verilog, constrained random verification methodologies.
• Experience in DDR and GPIO Design Verification with developing, maintaining, and executing complex IPs and/or SOCs.
• Understand the complete verification life cycle (verification architecture, test plan, execution, debug, coverage closure).
• Developing validation test suites and driving continuous improvement into existing validation test suites and methodologies.
• Experience in FPGA architecture or FPGA prototyping

Responsibilities

• Performs functional logic verification of an FPGA to ensure design will meet specification requirements.
• Develops FPGA verification plans, test benches, and the verification environment to ensure coverage to confirm to microarchitecture specifications.
• Executes verification plans and defines and runs system simulation models to verify the FPGA design, analyze power and timing, and uncover bugs.
• Replicates, root causes, and debugs issues in the pre-silicon environment.
• Finds and implements corrective measures to resolve failing tests.
• Collaborates with FPGA architects, RTL developers, and physical design teams to improve verification of complex architectural and microarchitectural features.
• May also collaborate with systems and software engineers to support integration testing of the FPGA.
• Documents test plans and drives technical reviews of plans and proofs with design and architecture teams.
• Maintains and improves existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology.
• Documents, reviews, and executes the verification strategy plan on different methodologies/techniques (e.g., gate-level-simulation strategy, power patterns/aware simulations) used to enable feature coverage as per the microarchitecture specifications.
