We are seeking an experienced SoC Verification Technical Lead to lead full-chip System-on-Chip (SoC) verification and drive technical delivery across multiple verification projects or customer engagements. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in pre-silicon verification, a proven track record of successful SoC tapeouts, and the ability to guide engineering teams toward high-quality verification sign-off.

This role requires a combination of deep technical knowledge, verification methodology development, customer engagement, and engineering leadership to ensure functional correctness, coverage completeness, and predictable project delivery.

Requirements Key Responsibilities

- Own full-chip SoC verification from test-plan development and execution to coverage closure and final sign-off
- Verify critical SoC functionality, including boot flows, interconnects, memory subsystems, coherency, interrupts, and clock and reset sequencing
- Lead multiple verification projects or a major customer account, ensuring technical quality, schedule adherence, and delivery commitments
- Provide technical leadership to 6-10 engineers through sub-leads, ensuring effective task allocation, technical guidance, and issue resolution
- Define and standardise reusable verification methodologies, including testbench templates, Verification IP (VIP) strategies, regression infrastructure, and coverage workflows
- Determine the appropriate distribution of verification activities across simulation, formal verification, emulation, and FPGA prototyping, coordinating with specialist teams
- Establish and enforce sign-off criteria for functional coverage, code coverage, toggle coverage, assertions, and Gate-Level Simulation (GLS)




- Lead technical reviews, customer discussions, and escalations, communicating verification status, risks, and mitigation plans
- Support post-silicon debugging by reproducing silicon issues in pre-silicon verification environments and identifying root causes
- Contribute to effort estimation, project scoping, technical proposals, and Statements of Work (SOW)
- Mentor engineers and sub-leads, develop technical training materials, and participate in technical interviews
- Improve verification productivity through automation, regression optimisation, reusable components, and AI-assisted verification flows

What Makes You a Outstanding Fit

- 10-11 years of experience in semiconductor design verification, with strong expertise in full-chip SoC verification
- At least three successful tapeouts, including a minimum of one full-chip SoC tapeout
- Proven technical leadership experience managing or guiding teams of six or more engineers
- Strong understanding of SoC architecture, verification planning, testbench development, coverage closure, and sign-off processes
- Experience verifying boot flows, interconnects, memory subsystems, coherency, interrupts, and clock/reset sequencing
- Expertise in reusable verification methodologies, VIP integration, regression management, and coverage analysis
- Understanding of simulation, formal verification, emulation, FPGA prototyping, and GLS workflows
- Ability to define verification quality gates, assess technical risks, and drive closure of complex verification issues
- Strong customer-facing communication, technical presentation, and stakeholder management skills
- Experience with project estimation, scope definition, technical mentoring, and cross-functional collaboration
- A continuous-improvement mindset, with interest in automation and AI-assisted verification to improve efficiency and quality
