Principal Functional Verification Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a Principal Verification Engineer to lead functional verification for complex SoC / IP architectures. You will collaborate across architecture, design, physical implementation, and software teams, driving verification methodology, execution, and closure.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyse system and architecture specifications to define verification strategy.
• Develop test and coverage plans for IP / SoC blocks.
• Build and maintain scalable verification environments (SystemVerilog / UVM / SystemC / C++).
• Create stimulus, assertions, checkers, trackers, and functional coverage.
• Execute verification plans including bring-up regressions, debug, and coverage closure.
• Develop and run test cases in SystemVerilog and embedded C.
• Debug and root‑cause failures, working closely with design and architecture teams.
• Manage verification deliverables across internal and external teams.
• Mentor and guide junior verification engineers.

Required Experience

• Master’s degree in a relevant discipline.
• 15+ years verification experience on complex SoC / IP.
• Strong expertise in SystemVerilog / UVM and SystemC / C++.
• Hands‑on experience with constrained‑random verification and functional coverage.
• Debug experience across RTL, testbench, and integration issues.
• Experience with Formal Verification and UPF.
• HW / SW co‑verification and simulation experience.
• Scripting experience (Bash, Perl, Python).
• Strong communication and problem‑solving skills (English required).

Why Join

This is an opportunity to shape advanced SoC / IP solutions while mentoring the next generation of verification engineers in a technically ambitious environment. If you could be suitable for this position, please get in touch.
