Member of Technical Staff - Design Verification

Overview

Founding Technical Staff Member on the Design Verification team, owning verification strategy for AI-generated designs targeting leading foundries.

What you'll do

• Review AI-driven test plans and validation strategies for internal and external SoC projects.
• Define architectural and microarchitectural verification checks, coverage models, validation modularity, checkers, and interface protocols.
• Independently drive and coordinate validation, verification, and integration flows across multiple IPs, including checkpoints and collateral handoffs.
• Collaborate to generate simulation- and emulation-ready collateral across projects.
• Track semiconductor verification and AI-driven design automation trends to improve quality, scalability, and throughput.

What you'll need

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field.
• 5+ years of tapeout experience on advanced-node tapeouts at top chip companies or fast-moving silicon startups.
• Deep expertise in verification/validation, emulation, and architectural/system-level verification of industry-standard IPs.
• Strong coding skills in SystemVerilog and UVM for test environments.
• Strong skills in C/C++ for test environments.
• Hands-on verification experience in at least one area such as AMBA protocols, CPU subsystems, memory controllers/PHY, on-chip interconnect/NoC, NPU/ML accelerator cores, or security IP.
• Hands-on experience with simulation and emulation flows and methodologies.
