Senior Design Verification Engineer
Acceler8 Talent is seeking a Senior Design Verification Engineer to join an extremely well funded start-up that is building fundamentally new technology to extend Moore’s Law beyond the limits of silicon. In this role, you will define verification plans, build testbenches, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure the functional correctness of innovative computing technologies.
Responsibilities
Define and develop verification plans for Top-level and subsystems involving HBM interfaces, Fabrics, memory controllers, PHYs, and custom computing cores
Build and maintain UVM-based testbenches to simulate complex SoC/ASIC designs
Develop stimulus, checkers, monitors, and coverage models to ensure comprehensive verification
Debug RTL and testbench issues using waveform analysis and simulations
Collaborate with RTL designers, architects, firmware teams, and system validation engineers to ensure end-to-end functional correctness
Drive performance validation scenarios specific to high-bandwidth, low-latency compute workloads
Contribute to coverage closure, regression automation, and formal verification methodologies as appropriate
Mentor junior engineers and help improve overall verification methodologies and flows
Qualification
Required
B.S./M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
5+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC design verification
Strong knowledge and hands-on experience with UVM and SystemVerilog building top-level architectures on NOCs/Fabrics
Solid understanding of DRAM, HBM2/2E/3, NOC/Fabric protocols, and memory controller architectures
Experience with custom compute core (RISC-V, AI/ML accelerators, DSPs, etc.) integration and verification
Familiarity with simulation tools (e.g., VCS, Questa, XSIM) and waveform debuggers (e.g., DVE, SimVision)
Experience with constrained-random verification, functional coverage, and assertion-based verification
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams
Preferred
Any management experience or 3rd party vendor management experience would be highly beneficial
