About

Suyash Bagadia is an experienced ASIC Verification Engineer with over 3 years of experience in the field. He is a graduate of Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, with a degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Currently, he is working as an Application Specific Integrated Circuit Verification Engineer at Cisco, where he has worked on multiple ASIC’s/SOC verification like FC-ASIC's/Smart NIC ASIC's. Suyash has hands-on experience in networking protocols like Ethernet MAC/PCS/FEC/Serdes and a good understanding of multiple bus protocols like NSPI/NAXI/AXI/APB/DHS. He is skilled in defining and developing UVM/System Verilog verification environment/Testbench, going over design specs, and coming up with a verification plan, attributes/test-plan definition. He owns end-to-end DV tasks from Testbench planning, developing ENV components from scratch, coding test cases, writing constraints/assertions, running simulations, regression analysis/debug, and achieving all coverage goals. Suyash has strong debugging and analytical skills and independent problem-solving ability. He has isolated many critical bugs in design using randomness and directed testing, which ensured a quality RTL tape-out. He has also worked on different stages of verification, i.e., Module/Block, Cluster, and Chip/Top level. In his current role at Cisco, Suyash has extended and enhanced existing verification environments in UVM for blocks, including Ethernet MAC/PCS/FEC/Serdes layers. He has worked with multiple Vendor IP’s like COMIRA UMAC for MAC/PCS functionality, MediaTek & Broadcom for PHY Serdes, and multiple Cisco in-house IP’s. He has also integrated and used Ethernet High-speed Synopsis Verification IP (1G SGMII to 200G) and developed performance infra from scratch for Bus protocols like NSPI, which was used at module/cluster/top level for Bandwidth monitoring. Before joining Cisco, Suyash worked as a Hardware Intern (ASIC testing and verification) at Cisco, where he developed a System Verilog environment and testbench to verify Memory block. He also worked as an Intern (Software developer) at Adani Power, where he developed an Android application for monitoring the maintenance parameters of the switchyard for the electrical department and helped in developing a data retrieval software using MySQL. Suyash's tech stack includes Python, infra, designer, software engineer, MySQL, and integration. He has a relevant experience of
