Etched is building AI chips that are hard-coded for individual model architectures. Our first product (Sohu) only supports transformers, but has an order of magnitude more throughput and lower latency than a B200. With Etched ASICs, you can build products that would be impossible with GPUs, like real-time video generation models and extremely deep & parallel chain-of-thought reasoning agents. We are seeking a Design Verification Engineer to join our External IP DV team. You will work with vendors, and ensure all our architecture requirements are met with the IP’s being plugged in. This role demands creativity, deep technical ability, and the drive to tackle complex verification challenges. You will collaborate with architects, RTL designers, and SW/FW/emulation teams to validate correctness and performance across the full hardware-software stack.

  • End to end ownership of one or more of the following IP’s: PCIe, Ethernet, CPU (arc/arm), low power peripherals, sensors
  • Understand vendor IP configurations and handle handshake with internal IP team
  • Develop and maintain UVM/SystemVerilog-based verification environments to ensure functional correctness, performance, and compliance with IP specifications.
  • Collaborate with integration and SoC DV teams to validate seamless interaction of external IPs within the broader chip architecture.
  • Drive coverage closure and sign-off by defining metrics, analyzing gaps, and ensuring comprehensive verification across corner cases and stress scenarios.
  • 5+ years of design verification experience
  • Enjoy digging deep into complex verification challenges and finding creative ways to expose corner-case bugs.
  • Hands-on experience with industry-standard verification methodologies like SystemVerilog/UVM and understand how to build scalable, reusable testbenches.
  • Comfortable working with standard IP interfaces and protocols such as PCIe, Ethernet, AXI/AMBA, or ARM/ARC CPUs.
  • Thrive in a fast-paced startup environment and can take ownership of projects with minimal direction.
  • Collaborate naturally with cross-functional teams — from RTL design to software and emulation — and can clearly communicate technical insights.
  • Experience handling vendors and integration of IP/VIP’s
  • UVM/System Verilog
  • Full medical, dental, and vision packages, with generous premium coverage
  • Housing subsidy of $2,000/month for those living within walking distance of the office
  • Daily lunch and dinner in our office
  • Relocation support for those moving to San Jose (Santana Row)
