Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced DFX Verification Engineer with strong expertise in verifying Design-for-X (DFX) features in complex ASIC and SoC designs.

The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience in developing and executing verification plans, testbenches, and test scenarios for DFX architectures, including scan chains, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG, boundary scan, and other testability features.

The candidate will work closely with DFT, RTL design, design verification, and physical design teams to ensure the correctness, functionality, and reliability of DFX implementations across the ASIC development lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

- Develop and execute verification plans for DFX features across ASIC and SoC designs.
- Perform functional verification of DFT-related features, including scan architecture, scan chains, and scan compression.
- Verify MBIST and LBIST controllers, memory test operations, and associated test sequences.
- Verify JTAG, boundary scan, and IEEE 1149.1-related functionality.
- Develop and maintain SystemVerilog-based testbenches and verification environments.
- Create constrained-random and directed test scenarios to validate DFX functionality.
- Develop and execute assertions, functional coverage models, and coverage closure strategies.
- Debug simulation failures, functional mismatches, and DFX-related integration issues.
- Verify interactions between DFX logic and other SoC subsystems, including clock, reset, power management, and test access infrastructure.
- Perform regression testing and ensure adequate verification coverage before design sign-off.
- Collaborate with DFT implementation, RTL, SoC verification,



and physical design teams to identify and resolve design issues.
- Support gate-level simulation and post-synthesis verification activities wherever required.
- Participate in design reviews, verification methodology improvements, and automation initiatives.
- Maintain verification plans, test specifications, coverage reports, and technical documentation.

Mandatory Technical Skills

- 6+ years of experience in ASIC / SoC Design Verification or DFX Verification.
- Strong knowledge of DFX concepts and DFT architecture.
- Hands-on experience with SystemVerilog and UVM-based verification.
- Experience developing verification environments, test plans, test cases, and test scenarios.
- Robust understanding of scan chains, scan insertion concepts, and scan compression.
- Experience verifying MBIST, memory test controllers, and associated test operations.
- Good understanding of JTAG, boundary scan, and IEEE 1149.1 standards.
- Experience with assertions, functional coverage, code coverage, and coverage closure.
- Strong debugging skills using simulation waveforms and verification tools.
- Good understanding of RTL design, digital logic, clocking, resets, and SoC architecture.
- Experience with industry-standard simulation and verification tools such as:





- Synopsys VCS
- Cadence Xcelium
- Siemens Questa

- Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python, Tcl, or Perl.

Preferred Skills

- Experience with IEEE 1500 and IEEE 1687 (IJTAG) standards.
- Knowledge of OCC (On-Chip Clock Controller) verification.
- Experience verifying scan compression and test access mechanisms.
- Exposure to low-power DFX verification and power-aware simulation.
- Understanding of formal verification techniques and property checking.
- Experience with gate-level simulation and post-silicon validation.
- Familiarity with DFT tools such as Siemens Tessent, Synopsys TestMAX, or Cadence Modus.
- Knowledge of multi-clock domain architectures and clock/reset domain crossing concepts.
- Exposure to safety and security-related DFX features in automotive or high-reliability SoCs.

Qualifications

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, VLSI, or a related discipline.
- Minimum 6+ years of relevant experience in ASIC / SoC Design Verification or DFX Verification.
- Strong hands-on experience in SystemVerilog/UVM-based verification.
- Ability to work independently and collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams.

Key Competencies

- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
- Excellent debugging and verification skills.
- Ability to understand complex DFX architectures and identify functional corner cases.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills.
- Ability to manage verification milestones and deliver quality results within project timelines.
