Requirements

This position involves contributing to an AI evaluation program focused on advanced silicon and chip-design workflows. We are looking for senior digital chip design and verification engineers who can dedicate significant time over the next few months to support this initiative., Track 1: RTL Design Engineer

  • 3, 10 years of experience in digital RTL design
  • Strong proficiency in Verilog / SystemVerilog
  • Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals: FSMs, datapaths, pipelines, FIFOs, arbiters, clock/reset domains, bus protocols
  • Experience with ASIC design flows: lint, synthesis, timing analysis, CDC, DFT-aware design
  • Familiarity with common EDA tools for simulation, waveform debug, lint, CDC, synthesis, timing analysis
  • Familiarity with leveraging LLM-based tools to accelerate chip design, RTL development, debug, documentation, or verification workflows
  • Ability to write clear design documentation and communicate technical tradeoffs
  • Experience debugging RTL issues using simulation logs and waveform viewers
  • Strong collaboration skills across architecture, verification, and implementation teams

Preferred

  • AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB)
  • Background in one or more of: CPU, GPU / ML accelerator, networking, memory subsystem, PCIe / high-speed IO, SoC interconnect, low-power design
  • Exposure to formal verification or SV/UVM-based design verification

Track 2: Design Verification Engineer

  • 3, 10 years of experience in design verification
  • Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM
  • Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals: FSMs, datapaths, pipelines, FIFOs, arbiters, clock/reset domains, bus protocols
  • Experience developing reusable verification components and testbench infrastructure
  • Constrained-random verification, functional coverage, assertions (SVA), coverage closure
  • Familiarity with EDA tools for simulation, waveform debug, coverage analysis, formal verification, regression management
  • Familiarity with LLM-based tools to accelerate verification, debug, test generation, documentation, or coverage analysis
  • Ability to write clear verification plans, debug reports, and technical documentation

Preferred

  • AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB)
  • Background in one or more of: CPU, GPU / ML accelerator, networking, memory subsystem, PCIe / high-speed IO, SoC interconnect, low-power verification
  • Reusable verification IP, scoreboards, reference models, coverage-driven regression flows

Benefits & conditions

  • $87,100-157,450 per year
