As a VLSI Verification Engineer, I play a crucial role in ensuring the quality and functionality of our integrated circuits through comprehensive verification processes. I work closely with design and development teams to develop and execute verification plans, create testbenches, and implement advanced verification methodologies.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and execute verification plans for complex VLSI designs.
  • Create and maintain System Verilog/UVM testbenches to verify the functionality of RTL designs.
  • Implement and utilize verification methodologies such as UVM to achieve high coverage and thorough testing.
  • Develop and execute test cases to verify functionality, performance, and robustness of designs.
  • Collaborate with design and development teams to understand design specifications and identify verification requirements.
  • Debug and resolve design and verification issues using industry-standard EDA tools.
  • Perform functional coverage analysis and improve coverage through additional test cases.
  • Document verification plans, processes, and results to ensure traceability and repeatability.
  • Participate in design and verification reviews, providing feedback and recommendations for improvements.

Vlsi Projects

Verification of Memory Map Integration in SOC
Language: C++
Tools: QuestaSim
Description:
Ensuring the memory map fits seamlessly into the SOC design, assign in memory regions and device interfaces accurately.
My Role:
Learned the SOC verification process and requirements.Developed detailed plans covering various memory access scenarios.Created test cases for different memory operations and boundary conditions.Worked closely with design engineers to align verification with memory map specifications.


Verification of JTAG IEEE std 1149.1

Language : System Verilog (Universal Verification Methodology)
Tools:  QuestaSim
Description:
JTAG, which stands for "Joint Test Action Group," is a widely used industry- standard protocol and technology primarily used for testing and debugging integrated circuits during manufacturing and in-system testing.JTAG provides a standardized way to access and control the internal components of digital ICs, even when they are embedded in a larger system. It allows for testing the interconnections between different components on a printed circuit board or within an IC itself.
My Role:  
Developing the testbench architecture and UVM components.Verified it by writing assertions.

Verification of USB 2.0 Host Controller
Language : System Verilog (Universal Verification Methodology)
Tools: QuestaSim
Description:
SOC level verification of USB 2.0 Host Controller integrated in RISC-V architecture based SOC. Verification to ensure the integration of host controller to the SOC and its functionality.
My Role:  
Understood the SOC level verification process and planning for verification.Participated in test-case generation (Enumerating the device, 3 modes of transfer).Verified the functional coverage.
