About The Position

We’re a well-funded, stealth startup building a next-generation, end-to-end computing platform powered by a custom, high-performance edge SoC on an advanced process node. By integrating flagship compute IP into an industry-leading design, we are building the optimized silicon foundation for our software platform from the ground up. We’re building a tight-knit, experienced in-house team to drive engineering outcomes and partner with a Tier-1 ASIC design house through the process. As our Lead SoC Verification Engineer, you will help establish the verification and validation methodology for our end product.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in verifying complex ASICs.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Deep knowledge of industry-standard on-chip interconnect protocols (AMBA CHI/AXI/AXI-S/APB).
• Fluent in System verilog/System-C and UVM.
• Experience verifying designs with multiple power domains using UPF and industry standard tools.
• Proven track record of taking products through first pass Silicon success.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with verifying multi-media SOCs.
• Experience working directly with Arm cores and subsystems.
• Experience with modeling and performance validation.
• Exposure to Silicon bring-up.

Responsibilities

• Participate in microarchitecture and design reviews with the designers to better understand the design to help develop a comprehensive DV plan.
• Develop a detailed test bench and plan for the blocks you will be working on and have them reviewed with the design and SW teams.
• Develop scalable test benches and libraries for block level and full chip level verification.
• Ensure stimulus is portable across verification, emulation and ASIC platforms.
• Implement test harness to collect various coverage metrics and scoreboards to track progress through regressions.
• Develop directed/constrained random/random test cases to fully stress the design, and track discovered bugs.
• Work closely with the validation team to use an emulation platform for accelerated verification and SW/HW co development.
