We are seeking a visionary and technically rigorous Design Verification Manager to lead our world-class silicon verification team. In this pivotal leadership role, you will architect, guide, and execute advanced verification strategies for high-performance, next-generation semiconductor products.

As a manager, you will bridge the gap between high-level architectural complexity and flawlessly executed silicon. You will be responsible for leading an elite engineering group, driving the adoption of cutting-edge methodology, and ensuring zero-bug tape-outs. If you thrive on solving complex microarchitectural puzzles, scaling high-performing teams, and pushing the boundaries of pre-silicon validation quality, this role offers an unparalleled opportunity to make an industry-wide impact.

• Team Leadership & Mentorship:
  Manage, inspire, and grow a team of high-performing design verification engineers. Foster a culture of technical excellence, continuous learning, and collaborative accountability.
• Allocating resources effectively across multiple parallel chip/block schedules.
• Verification Strategy & Architecture:
  Define global verification strategies, infrastructure, and execution plans for complex SoC and IP blocks. Own the testbench architecture from initial specifications down to structural sign-off.
• Methodology Champion:
  Drive standard-setting execution using industry-best paradigms, ranging from advanced functional metric tracking to pioneering automated flows. Lead the team across block, sub-system, and full-chip verification environments.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  
  Align closely with Architecture, RTL Design, Physical Design, and Post-Silicon validation teams to identify coverage gaps, debug system-level failures, and ensure timely tape-out milestones.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on technical authority capable of conducting rigorous code reviews, mentoring senior staff, and charting verification roadmaps across the following pillars:

• Languages & Frameworks:
  Deep, expert-level fluency inSystem
  
  Verilogand Universal Verification
• Methodology (UVM) architecture.
• Formal Verification:
  Proven track record of leveraging formal methods to definitively
• mathematically prove block-level assertions and catch deep corner-case bugs.
• Emulation & Hardware Acceleration:
  Strategic experience utilizing emulation platforms (e.g., Palladium, Zebu, Veloce) to shift-left software integration and accelerate massive system-level test suites.

• Education:
  
  Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
• Verification
  
  Experience:
  
  10+ years of deep, hands-on industry experience in pre-silicon ASIC/SoC Design Verification.
• Leadership
  
  Experience:
  
  5+ years of dedicated engineering management or formal team leadership experience directly managing engineering headcount, performance reviews, and project delivery schedules.
• Proven mastery building scalable UVM-compliant test benches from scratch.

• Advanced
  
  Education:
  
  Master’s degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science.
• AI/ML in Verification:
  Exposure to, or hands-on experience implementing, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques within verification pipelines (e.g., using AI/ML for smart stimulus generation, coverage convergence acceleration, automated…
