INNOPHASE is a rapidly growing communications semiconductor startup with headquarters located in San Diego, CA. It is an exciting time to join InnoPhase and work with a brilliant team of engineers to design innovative wireless products and solutions for IoT/5G.

InnoPhase Bangalore is looking for a Senior Design Verification (DV) Engineer to join a growing start up semiconductor development organization and to help drive excellence in our IOT/5G products.

Responsibilities:

• Follow and help define the team's design verification methodology.
• Write bus functional models that drive and monitor stimulus.
• Plans and implements block and integration level scoreboards and checkers to verify functional behavior.
• Experience constructing chip-level System Verilog and UVM test bench environments, writing System Verilog Assertions (SVAs), with embedded software design and test.
• Develop RAL test plan at SOC/IP level and its implementation.
• Write and analyze functional coverage, providing input to block-level milestones.
• Triage regression failures and identify logic bugs, while driving bug closure.
• Debug test cases and report verification results to achieve the expected code/functional coverage goal. Utilize constrained random verification, functional coverage, code coverage and assertions to achieve goals.

Knowledge and Skills Required:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent.
• 5+ years of experience in VLSI design or verification
• Excellent collaboration, teamwork and communication skills
• Significant experience in reviewing and modifying IP block verification plans, a real plus if created such plans in collaboration with design engineering.
• Track record of completing IP block verification to acceptable coverage metrics.
• Excellent debugging skills, with experience debugging RTL in the block and/or chip-level environments.
• Working knowledge of OVM or UVM methodologies.
• Good analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Proficient knowledge of programming and scripting, hardware description language, electronic design automation (EDA), and/or FPGA tools.
