VLSI Design Verification Lead - Pre-Silicon Excellence

• Provide leadership and direction for a team responsible for all phases of pre‑silicon design verification, including verification planning, testbench development, coverage closure, regression management, and sign‑off reviews.

• Define, own, and evolve design verification methodology, ensuring consistent, high‑quality verification practices across block, subsystem, and full‑chip scopes.

• Ensure development of robust System Verilog/UVM‑based environments, including stimulus, scoreboards, checkers, assertions, and functional coverage.

• Drive regression health, failure triage, root‑cause isolation, and closure of design issues in collaboration with logic design and architecture teams.

• Manage project deliverables, schedules, and staffing to meet program milestones and quality goals.

• Recruit, mentor, and develop engineers; set performance expectations and support career growth across junior through senior levels.

• Identify and drive opportunities for process improvement, reuse, automation, and efficiency in verification workflows.

• Communicate verification status, risks, and readiness clearly to management and cross‑functional partners.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent.
• Typically 10+ years of experience in VLSI design verification, with strong hands‑on background in pre‑silicon DV.
• Strong understanding of System Verilog and UVM‑based verification methodologies.
• Demonstrated technical leadership in design verification.
• Ability to lead engineers through influence and mentorship.
• Experience with verification planning, coverage‑driven verification, regression management, and sign‑off readiness.
• Proficiency with DV workflows using industry EDA simulation tools.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
