Our client is a fast-growing deep-tech company building a next-generation AI compute SoC, combining high-performance AI processing with advanced networking capabilities. They have 70+ engineers across Israel, Europe, and the US, and with their first silicon already taped out and functioning they are now expanding their VLSI team in Poland. They are looking for a highly independent Senior VLSI Verification Engineer who can own a verification domain end-to-end and operate as an extension of the Israeli VLSI team. This is a senior, impact-heavy role requiring strong technical leadership, autonomy, and experience with complex SoCs. What You Will Do Take full ownership of block/cluster verification from specification to sign-off. Build and evolve SystemVerilog UVM verification environments. Drive unit-level, subsystem, and full-chip verification flows. Define verification strategy and methodology for your domain. Collaborate closely with architecture, RTL, and AI compute teams (mostly IL-based). Work on a state-of-the-art SoC that includes NoC, CPU subsystems, PCIe, DMA, memory hierarchies, and AI accelerators. What We’re Looking For 7+ years of ASIC/SoC pre-silicon verification (senior-level autonomy is essential). Deep knowledge of SystemVerilog and UVM. Experience building verification from scratch and owning a block/cluster. Hands-on experience across unit, subsystem, and full-chip verification. Solid understanding of SoC architecture. B.Sc./M.Sc. in Electrical or Computer Engineering. Nice to Have AMBA/AXI, NoC, CPU subsystems, PCIe, DMA, networking hardware. Experience with AI/ML accelerators or high-throughput pipelines. Prior tape-out experience. Why This Role Is Unique Work on a real AI compute SoC with a successfully taped-out first generation. High autonomy: you will operate as a senior extension of the IL VLSI team. Low bureaucracy, fast decision-making, strong engineering culture. Chance to influence architecture, methodology, and silicon quality. Direct access to the VP of VLSI and CEO—rare for a hardware role. Hybrid office in Kraków: typically 2 days/week on-site, flexible for non-local candidates. EU remote possible with occasional office visits.
