• Architect and author verification environments and test plans, review testbench code line-by-line, and personally drive debug of the hardest protocol, coverage, and bring-up issues

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 8+ years of progressive ASIC/SOC verification, with 5+ years leading verification teams
• Demonstrable experience writing verification code, building testbenches, and closing coverage
• Multiple tapeouts in advanced process nodes where you owned both deep technical work and sign-off
• Hands-on experience with high-speed protocol IP - Ethernet, UCIe, UALink, or comparable
• Fluent across the full ASIC/SOC lifecycle - microarchitecture through tape-out - on designs integrating interconnect, I/O, and memory subsystems
• Executive communication skills; proven ability to manage risk, escalations, budget, and headcount on startup timelines

Preferred Qualifications (optional)

• PhD in EE, CE, or related field
• Built a verification team from zero at an early-stage startup while delivering milestones personally
• Hands-on post-silicon bring-up, debug, and validation leadership
• AI/datacenter accelerator background; familiarity with LLM memory/dataloader bottlenecks
• Knowledge of DFT and its interaction with front-end verification
