Design Verification Engineer Automotive Connectivity SoCs and E2B Technology About the Role As a Design Verification Engineer at Analog Devices, you will develop verification environments and execute verification activities for next-generation automotive connectivity SoCs based on E2B technology.

You will work on complex devices incorporating embedded processors, digital communication subsystems, firmware, security functions, and mixed-signal components. Working with moderate supervision, you will collaborate with design, architecture, firmware, functional safety, and validation teams to ensure that designs meet their functional, quality, and reliability requirements before tape-out. You will contribute to SystemVerilog /UVM testbench development, C DPI integration, coverage analysis, regression execution, and debugging of hardware-software interactions.

This position provides an opportunity to develop expertise in automotive SoC verification while contributing to technologies that enable reliable, high-performance in-vehicle connectivity.

Key Responsibilities

Verification Environment Development: Develop and maintain SystemVerilog /UVM verification environments, including agents, sequences, monitors, scoreboards, reference models, assertions, and functional coverage.

SoC Verification

Verify SoC functionality involving embedded processors, memories, interconnects, interrupts, DMA controllers, peripherals, communication interfaces, and mixed-signal subsystems.

Verification Planning

Contribute to verification plans by translating design and product requirements into test scenarios, coverage items, and verification objectives.

Test Development

Develop directed and constrained-random tests for block-level, subsystem-level, and SoC-level verification.

Processor-Based Verification

Develop and execute verification scenarios for microprocessor-based SoCs, including processor initialization, register accesses , interrupts, exceptions, boot sequences, and basic firmware interactions.

C DPI Integration

Develop and maintain C/ SystemVerilog DPI interfaces and integrate C-based models or reference functions into simulation environments.

E2B Functionality

Verify E2B communication functionality, including configuration, control, data transfer, timing behavior, error handling, diagnostics, and recovery scenarios.

Coverage and Metrics

Analyze functional, code, and assertion coverage; identify verification gaps; and develop additional tests to support verification closure.

Regression Execution

Execute and monitor verification regressions, analyze failures, classify issues, and communicate results to the project team.

Debugging

Analyze and resolve verification failures across testbenches, RTL, embedded C code, reference models, and system-level scenarios.

Functional Safety Support

Contribute to verification of automotive safety mechanisms, fault injection tests, requirements traceability, and verification evidence for ISO 26262-related activities.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Work with design, architecture, firmware, functional safety, validation, and applications teams to resolve technical issues and support project milestones.

Documentation

Create and maintain clear documentation covering verification plans, testcases, coverage results, known issues, and verification status.

Automation

Develop scripts to automate regression execution, results analysis, coverage reporting, and other verification workflows.
