Functional Verification Engineer
BengaluruFull-timePosted Jul 31, 2026
Project Role : Functional Verification Engineer
Project Role Description : Develop and execute testbenches to verify the functional correctness of digital designs at the block and system level. Create constrained-random, directed, and coverage-driven tests using languages like SystemVerilog and UVM. Collaborate with design and architecture teams to identify corner cases and ensure complete functional coverage before tape-out.
Must have skills : SoC Verification
Good to have skills : NA
Minimum 3 year(s) of experience is required
Educational Qualification : 15 years full time education
Summary:
USB Verification Engineer Hardware Engineering / Connectivity IP
Total Industry Experience Minimum 7 years in hardware/protocol verification roles USB Protocol Experience 3+ years hands-on USB 3.x / USB4 / USB-C verification PHY / Controller Verification Experience verifying USB PHY, host/device/dual-role controllers Compliance & Interoperability USB-IF compliance testing and multi-vendor interoperability validation
Prior Protocol Exposure PCIe, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, or MIPI background advantageous
As a Functional Verification Engineer, a typical day involves developing and implementing comprehensive testbenches to ensure the functional accuracy of digital designs at both block and system levels. The role includes designing various types of tests, such as constrained-random, directed, and coverage-driven, to thoroughly validate the design. Collaboration with design and architecture teams is essential to identify potential edge cases and guarantee exhaustive functional coverage prior to tape-out. This position requires a proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous communication within the team to maintain high-quality verification standards throughout the project lifecycle.
