- Develop verification methodologies aligned with project requirements and quality standards.

Testbench Architecture &
- Development

- Architect and develop scalable, reusable constrained-random verification environments using SystemVerilog and UVM.
- Create verification components, scoreboards, monitors, checkers, and reusable testbench infrastructure.
- Develop and execute directed, random, and stress test scenarios.

AMBA AXI Verification
- Verify and validate AXI3, AXI4, and AXI5 based subsystems.
- Validate AXI Interconnects, NoCs (Network-on-Chip), and multi-layer bus architectures.
- Analyze and verify out-of-order transaction handling, latency optimization, and bandwidth performance.

PCIe Sub-System Verification
- Verify PCIe Gen3, Gen4, Gen5, and Gen6 controller functionality across Physical, Data Link,



and Transaction Layers.
- Validate high-performance DMA engines operating in Endpoint and Root Complex configurations.
- Ensure protocol compliance and robust performance under various traffic conditions.

Protocol &
- Performance Verification

- Verify high-speed industry-standard protocols and ensure compliance with protocol specifications.
- Execute performance verification to validate throughput, latency, and system-level behavior.
- Support low-power verification methodologies using UPF/CPF where applicable.

Debugging &
- Failure Analysis

- Debug complex simulation failures and identify root causes in RTL designs.
- Perform protocol-level debugging and waveform analysis.
- Collaborate closely with design, architecture, and software teams to resolve issues efficiently.

Gate-Level Simulation (GLS)
- Set up and execute gate-level simulations with and without timing annotations.
- Analyze timing-related issues and support pre-silicon signoff activities.

Automation &
- Productivity Enhancement

- Develop automation scripts using Python, Perl, or Tcl.
- Improve regression execution, result analysis, coverage tracking, and verification workflows.
