Hardware Verification Engineer
We are building next-generation post-quantum secure hardware that redefines performance, efficiency, and security. By leveraging processing-in-memory (PIM) architectures , our technology delivers up to 10 improvements in performance-per-watt and performance-per-area compared to conventional designs.
We are seeking a Hardware Verification Engineer to play a critical role in validating and securing our silicon. You will help ensure that our accelerator designs are functionally correct, performant, and resilient against real-world security threats.
This role sits at the intersection of hardware, software, and security , offering hands-on ownership of verification infrastructure and close collaboration with cross-disciplinary teams.
Key Responsibilities :
- Own and extend the verification strategy for a processing-in-memory accelerator
- Design, improve, and maintain Python-based testbenches and verification infrastructure
- Collaborate closely with software engineers to ensure hardware behavior matches software models
- Validate hardware IP for correctness, reliability, and efficiency
- Support verification of security-focused hardware features, including mitigations for power and electromagnetic side-channel attacks
- Contribute to verification best practices and scalable testing methodologies
What You Bring :
A strong record of impactful verification work from industry or academiaHands-on experience with Python-based, open-source verification frameworks such as Cocotb or PyVerilatorSolid understanding of digital design verification methodologiesInterest or experience in secure hardware design , including side-channel and anti-tamper countermeasuresMinimum Qualifications :
BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experienceFluency in Verilog and / or SystemVerilogFluency in C and / or C++Strong proficiency in PythonExperience building verification environments using Python-based frameworksUnderstanding of testbench architecture and verification best practicesPreferred Qualifications :
Experience developing or verifying secure hardware systemsFamiliarity with side-channel resistance techniques such as maskingExperience with FPGA emulation or prototypingWhy You Should Join :
Work on frontier technology : Contribute to post-quantum secure hardware that addresses future-proof security challengesHigh-impact role : Your verification work directly influences silicon quality, security, and performanceDeep technical ownership : Shape verification infrastructure rather than maintaining legacy flowsCross-disciplinary collaboration : Work closely with hardware architects, cryptographers, and software engineersSecurity-focused engineering : Gain hands-on exposure to real-world hardware security threats and countermeasuresBalanced work model : Hybrid setup in New York City or Portland, Oregon
