Renesas has a growing presence in India with HC approaching 1000+ and significant presence with active government and university collaboration as well as OSAT footprint (JV with CG India). With the growing importance of India as a market (Growing semiconductor market and government goals / mandates of localization needs) and talent hub, our division’s (India for India) mission is to grow India market. We aspire to create products (SoCs, Software, Power and Analog chips etc) which serve needs for local market. Renesas is a leading electronics supplier globally, and this is a unique opportunity to directly influence the future products which will be offered to our customers in a new, fast growing and large Indian market with specific needs and applications.
We are seeking a highly experienced IP Design Verification Engineer to join the Verification R&D team at Renesas. In this role, you will be a part of team responsible for SOC verification, ensuring first‑pass silicon success through building verification environment from scratch using best in class methodologies, metric‑driven verification, and intelligent coverage convergence using AI tools.
You will play a key technical role in defining verification strategies, architecting testbenches, defining Test Plans tracing Requirements, driving coverage closure using advanced automation and AI‑assisted techniques, and collaborating closely with Architecture, RTL, chip top, and Validation teams to deliver high‑quality, reusable IPs for next‑generation microcontrollers and microprocessors.
Responsibilities:
- Be a part of end‑to‑end verification execution for SOC owning complex digital IP’s and subsystems from specification to sign‑off
- Define and drive IP‑level verification strategies, including test plans, coverage models, and closure criteria
- Develop scalable, reusable UVM‑based verification environments for IP and subsystem verification
- Lead functional, code, assertion, and cross‑coverage closure, ensuring high‑quality sign‑off with clear metrics
- Apply AI/ML‑assisted verification techniques to accelerate coverage convergence, identify stimulus gaps, and optimize regression efficiency
- Drive constraint random and directed test methodologies for thorough protocol, corner‑case, and stress verification
- Collaborate with RTL, Architecture, Emulation, and SoC Verification teams to ensure seamless IP integration
- Review IP specifications and work with architects to translate requirements into robust verification plans and checkers
- Develop and deploy advanced checkers, scoreboards, assertions (SVA), and protocol monitors
- Work with EDA vendors to evaluate and adopt next‑generation verification, coverage, and analytics tools
- Mentor junior engineers and promote best‑in‑class verification practices and continuous improvement
- Support Gate‑Level Simulation (GLS), low‑power verification, and post‑silicon debug when required.
- Ensure IP deliverables meet quality, schedule, and reusability expectations for SoC integration.
