ABOUT PROXELERA
Proxelera builds chip, systems, and software solutions for global leaders—and right now we need two strong verification engineers to keep engineering output moving without slip-ups. If you’ve spent years turning complex specs into coverage-driven, assertion-rich verification that actually finds bugs (and helps teams ship faster), this is your seat.
The Work
• Own functional verification for complex ASIC/System-on-Chip designs, end-to-end from early verification planning through tape-out readiness.
• Build and maintain functional verification environments using SystemVerilog + UVM.
• Drive coverage-driven verification using functional coverage, SVA assertions, and coverage closure strategies.
• Debug hard failures by triaging root cause across stimulus, DUT behavior, and environment issues.
• Use industry-standard simulators such as Questa or VCS to reproduce issues, validate fixes, and ensure verification completeness.
What You’ll Need (Must-Haves)
• 6+ years of hands-on experience in functional verification.
• Strong SystemVerilog and UVM expertise.
• Experience with functional coverage, assertions (SVA), and coverage-driven verification.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills in verification projects.
• Experience with Questa or VCS.
• Evidence of complete full-chip design-cycle experience—from design concept/early verification planning through tape-out handling of complex verification assignments.
• Full-chip experience must reflect ownership beyond IP/block-level verification (IP/block-only exposure is not sufficient).
Even Better If
• Experience with MIPI, DDR4/DDR5, and/or AMBA protocols (AXI4, AXI4-Lite, AXI4-Stream).
• Familiarity with VIP-based verification environments.
• Exposure to FPGA/Vivado-based IP verification flows.
Who Thrives Here
• You enjoy being accountable for verification quality—especially when timelines are tight and the design is complex.
• You’re comfortable working across teams and locations, and you communicate clearly about what’s working, what’s blocked, and what you’re doing next.
• You think in systems: not just “make the test pass,” but “make the verification strategy catch the right failures.”
• You like building reusable verification assets (environments, checks, coverage) that make future projects faster.
The Team
You’ll be joining a delivery-focused engineering setup at Proxelera, supporting active work across verification and physical design output so projects don’t slip. The team is built for multi-site execution, with engineers and design centers across India and the USA—so you’ll collaborate with people who care deeply about throughput and engineering rigor.
Comp, Logistics and Benefits
• Location / Work mode: Bangalore, Onsite (all 5 days)
• Open roles: 2
• Compensation: The hiring team will share compensation details directly.
Benefits will be shared during the hiring conversation.
Non-Traditional Backgrounds
If your verification experience spans multiple protocol-heavy domains (and you can show how you drove coverage and debug to closure), we’d still like to hear from you.
