Tier-1 brand and metro location increase competition, but niche hardware verification skills limit candidate pool.
Highly specialized ASIC/SoC verification skills and protocol expertise limit cross-industry transferability.
Specific SystemVerilog/UVM, protocol expertise, scripting skills and degree-plus experience create strict shortlisting filters.
