SoC Design Verification Manager

Our client, a Singapore-based IC design house specializing in MCU, BMS, BLE, and TPM chip solutions for consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, and IoT applications, is seeking a qualified candidate to join their team as:

SoC Design Verification Manager

Scope

Lead a verification team developing state-of-the-art methodologies — from UVM and C co-simulation to mixed-signal and formal verification.

Responsibilities

• Lead the verification team's planning and execution across the SoC development cycle, managing risks and priorities to hit milestones

• Mentor and coach team members, supporting their technical growth and career development

• Develop verification plans and strategies that translate design specs into measurable coverage goals

• Architect and maintain scalable, reusable UVM/SystemVerilog testbenches

• Partner with design and project teams to resolve issues and keep projects on track

• Drive functional and code coverage analysis to close verification gaps ahead of tape-out

• Improve verification processes, methodologies, and tooling to boost team efficiency

• Participate in design/verification reviews, surfacing issues early

• Stay current on emerging verification trends, including formal and AI-assisted methods

Requirements

• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in EE, CE, CS, or related field

• 8+ years in design verification with strong SystemVerilog/UVM experience across SoC or IP projects; 3+ years in people management

• Deep knowledge of digital logic, SoC architecture, and microarchitecture

• Proficient in simulation-based verification (UVM, SystemVerilog); able to architect scalable testbench environments

• Knowledge of low-power verification (power intent, power-aware simulation)

• Knowledge of mixed-signal and HW/SW co-simulation techniques

• Knowledge of gate-level simulation for timing and post-synthesis validation

Preferred

• Full verification cycle experience, planning through tape-out

• Hands-on experience building testbench architectures from the ground up

• Experience managing teams of 20+ engineers
