Principal Engineer, Design Verification at Analog Devices in Bangalore, India
Analog Devices stands at the forefront of semiconductor innovation, bridging the physical and digital realms to power breakthroughs at the Intelligent Edge. With over $9 billion in revenue and 24,000 global employees, our Bangalore, India campus represents a hub of cutting-edge engineering excellence. As a Principal Engineer, Design Verification, you'll lead the charge in ensuring our complex Ethernet-enabled ASIC and SoC designs achieve unparalleled reliability and performance. This role demands not just technical mastery but visionary leadership in verification methodologies that guarantee first-pass silicon success.
In Bangalore's thriving tech ecosystem, you'll spearhead verification strategies for next-generation connectivity solutions that drive digitized factories, autonomous mobility, and intelligent healthcare systems. Owning the end-to-end verification process—from IP-level environments to full SoC integration—you'll translate intricate IEEE Ethernet standards into robust test plans, scalable environments, and comprehensive coverage metrics. This position offers the rare opportunity to shape silicon that powers the world's most demanding networking applications while mentoring the next generation of verification experts.
Your impact will resonate across Analog Devices' global portfolio, ensuring our Ethernet products meet the highest standards of interoperability, performance, and robustness. From architecting reusable Verification IP (VIP) blocks to driving emulation bring-up and post-silicon debug, every decision you make contributes to silicon that stays Ahead of What's Possible™.
A Day in the Life of a Principal Verification Engineer in Bangalore
Your morning begins with a stand-up review of overnight regression runs across IP, subsystem, and SoC verification environments. Diving into coverage reports, you identify gaps in Ethernet protocol corner cases—perhaps a rare backpressure scenario during congestion—and assign targeted test development to your team. By mid-morning, you're collaborating with the architecture team, challenging performance assumptions against IEEE specifications and proposing verification-friendly micro-architecture tweaks.
Lunch in the Bangalore campus cafeteria sparks informal discussions about the latest UVM enhancements or emulation acceleration techniques. Post-lunch, you lead a bug triage session, applying your deep SystemVerilog/UVM expertise to root-cause elusive SoC-level failures. Afternoon brings hands-on work: enhancing SVA checkers for PCS layer compliance or integrating new VIPs into the subsystem testbench. As the day winds down, you mentor a junior engineer on coverage closure strategies while reviewing verification metrics dashboards, ensuring all KPIs trend toward sign-off readiness.
Weekly, you present progress to cross-functional stakeholders—RTL designers, firmware developers, physical design engineers—aligning verification with tape-out milestones. Occasional travel (10%) takes you to collaborator sites for emulation validation or customer interoperability testing, expanding your global network within Analog Devices' ecosystem.
