Lead Verification Engineer - Digital Video and High-Speed Communication Systems

Lead Verification Engineer Purpose of the Job The Lead Verification Engineer will lead and drive the verification and validation of complex digital video and high-speed communication systems , from block-level verification through FPGA implementation and complete system integration. The position requires 14+ years of relevant industry experience and strong hands-on expertise in HDMI, DVI, SDI, SystemVerilog/UVM, directed verification, Gate-level simulation, high-speed digital interfaces, system integration and hardware debugging . The Lead Verification Engineer is expected to combine strong verification methodology with practical system-debugging skills and take technical ownership of verification strategy, execution, coverage, debugging, and verification closure. Key Responsibilities In This Role, You Will Lead the verification strategy, architecture, planning and execution based digital products and subsystems. Define comprehensive verification plans, test scenarios, verification environments, functional coverage goals and sign-off criteria . Develop and maintain reusable SystemVerilog/UVM verification environments , including testbenches, drivers, monitors, scoreboards, sequences, assertions and functional coverage. Develop directed and constrained-random tests to verify complex functional scenarios and corner cases. Lead verification of professional digital-video interfaces and video-processing systems, particularly HDMI, DVI, SDI etc Verify video-related functions across resolutions, frame rates, colour formats, bit depths, timing conditions and abnormal/error scenarios. Perform verification of complex designs , including custom RTL, IP, clocking, reset, memory and high-speed interface subsystems. Develop and execute gate-level simulations (GLS) and investigate failures involving timing, initialisation, reset, X-propagation and implementation effects. Perform system-level integration, verification and debugging , hardware, firmware, embedded software and host software. Profile Education and Experience Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, VLSI, Embedded Systems , or a related discipline. 14+ years of hands-on industry experience in verification, digital design verification and system-level verification. Demonstrated experience taking technical ownership of complex verification activities. Preferred Skills Experience with professional video-processing, broadcast, entertainment or high-performance visualisation systems . Experience in real-time video and image processing. Strong knowledge of CDC/RDC verification . Experience with scripting and automation using Python, Tcl, Shell or similar languages . Experience with continuous integration and automated regression environments. Knowledge of timing constraints and static timing analysis. Experience debugging interactions between RTL, embedded processors and external high-speed devices. Experience correlating simulation failures with hardware observations. Familiarity with board-level high-speed digital design concepts and signal integrity is advantageous. Experience Level Senior Level
