ASIC Verification Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Verification Engineer to join our engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, simulating, and verifying high-performance digital, analog and RF integrated circuits for applications such as 5G, IoT, and satellite communications. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements, develop innovative design solutions, and ensure that products meet the highest standards of quality and performance.

What you will be doing:

• Verify complex digital designs across custom IP blocks, subsystems, and full-chip SoC levels 
• Translate architecture and micro-architecture specifications into executable verification plans 
• Design, develop, and maintain scalable UVM-based verification environments 
• Develop high-quality testbenches using SystemVerilog and support VHDL and mixed-language environments 
• Drive functional and code coverage, analyze results, and close coverage gaps 
• Debug complex issues using simulation, waveform analysis, assertions, and root-cause analysis 
• Collaborate closely with architects, RTL designers, and system teams 
• Document verification plans, methodologies, and results, and provide clear status updates to leadership

What you bring to this role:

• Minimum of 5-10 years of experience in ASIC verification for complex digital systems 
• Deep expertise in SystemVerilog and strong working knowledge of VHDL for design and verification in mixed-language environments 
• Hands-on experience with UVM-based verification methodologies 
• Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals 
• Experience verifying industry-standard protocols  
• Strong debugging skills using simulation tools and waveform analysis 
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams  

Bonus points for the following:

• Advanced assertion-based verification or formal intent 
• Exposure to gate-level simulation, formal verification, emulation, or FPGA prototyping 
• Experience scaling or owning verification infrastructure for large or multi-project SoCs 
• Experience in verifying complex SoCs integrating CPUs, DSPs, and mixed-signal blocks  

Additional Requirements

This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment - flexibility to occasionally work extended hours or weekends during critical periods is expected.

This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office.  The target base pay for this position is $140,000 - $200,000 annually.  The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. 

 

We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.

 

E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.

Why E-Space is right for you:

As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in driving our success.  Our team members have a strong sense of dedication and responsibility; this includes a strong commitment to our mission to create an entirely new suite of global capabilities to improve lives, business efficiencies and build a smarter planet. This means that there will be times when extra hours, including nights and weekends, may be needed to meet critical deadlines and mission goals.  In return, we offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth industry.  

We want you to make the most of your journey at E-Space. That’s why we support and invest in the physical, emotional and financial well-being of our team members and their families. Some of what you can expect when working at E-Space:

• Optional legal services (US only)

• Paid holidays

• Paid time off

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
