Design Verification Engineer 

A fast-growing AI silicon startup on a mission to redefine how next-generation AI workloads are accelerated. Our team is building cutting-edge hardware from the ground up enabling breakthroughs in machine learning performance, efficiency, and scalability. Backed by top-tier investors and led by industry experts from leading semiconductor and AI companies, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in compute.

The Role

As a Design Verification Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in ensuring the correctness and performance of our next-generation AI accelerators. You’ll work closely with architecture and design teams to verify complex SoC and IP blocks, helping bring high-performance silicon to life.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll own verification from concept through to tape-out in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

 

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Develop and execute verification plans for complex digital designs and SoC subsystems
  • Build scalable, reusable testbenches using SystemVerilog andUVM
  • Perform functional and coverage-driven verification to ensure design robustness
  • Debug RTL issues and collaborate with design engineers to resolve bugs quickly
  • Contribute to verification infrastructure, automation, and methodology improvements
  • Work on high-speed interconnects, memory subsystems, and AI compute blocks
  • Support bring-up and validation activities post-silicon

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong experience in digital design verification
  • Solid expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM
  • Experience verifying complex SoCs or IP blocks
  • Understanding of verification methodologies, coverage metrics, and debugging techniques
  • Familiarity with industry-standard tools
  • Scripting skills
  • Strong problem-solving mindset and attention to detail

 

Nice to have

  • Experience with high-performance computing, GPUs, or AI/ML accelerators
  • Knowledge of protocols such as AXI, AHB, APB, PCIe, or Ethernet
  • Exposure to formal verification or emulation platforms
  • Experience working in fast-paced startup or scale-up environments
