Principal SoC Verification Engineer - SystemVerilog / UVM, AMBA

Job Title: Principal SoC Verification Engineer - SystemVerilog / UVM, AMBA
Job Location: Los Altos, CA, or San Francisco, CA - hybrid
Compensation: $200K - $300K base DOE plus equity
Requirements: SoC Verification (Full-Chip & Block-Level), SystemVerilog / UVM, AMBA Protocols (CHI, AXI, APB), ARM, HPC / Edge AI SoC

Position Overview
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.

Key Responsibilities

 

• Cross-functional reviews: Participate in microarchitecture and design reviews with the designers to better understand the design and 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.
• DV infrastructure development: 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 a test harness to collect various coverage metrics and scoreboards to track progress through regressions.
• Full chip/Block level verification: Develop directed/constrained random/random test cases to fully stress the design and track discovered bugs.
• System Validation: Work closely with the validation team to use an emulation platform for accelerated verification and SW/HW co-development.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field; advanced degree preferred.
• 10+ years of experience in verifying complex ASICs.
• 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.

Preferred Qualifications

• 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.

Benefits

• Medical/Dental/Vision benefits
• Vacation/PTO
• 401K
• Equity
• Flexible Work Arrangements
