Job Description

We are seeking a Verification Engineer to join our silicon development team, responsible for ensuring the functional correctness and quality of complex ASIC/SoC designs. This role is critical in validating next-generation chips used in high-performance computing, AI/ML, networking, or consumer electronics.

You will work closely with design, architecture, and validation teams to develop robust verification environments and drive coverage closure.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute verification plans for ASIC/SoC components and subsystems
  • Build and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM-based testbenches
  • Create directed and constrained-random tests to validate design functionality
  • Debug and root-cause RTL issues in collaboration with design engineers
  • Drive functional coverage and ensure verification completeness
  • Perform regression testing and analyze results for failures and gaps
  • Develop and use assertions (SVA) for design verification
  • Contribute to verification methodology improvements and automation
  • Support post-silicon validation teams with test scenarios and debug insights

Required Qualifications (MUST-HAVE)

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
  • 3–10+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC verification
  • Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology
  • Experience with RTL design concepts (Verilog/VHDL)
  • Solid debugging skills in simulation environments
  • Experience with EDA tools (e.g., Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, Mentor Questa)
  • Understanding of functional coverage and verification metrics

Preferred Qualifications (NICE-TO-HAVE)

  • Experience with formal verification tools
  • Knowledge of protocols (PCIe, Ethernet, AXI, DDR, USB, etc.)
  • Scripting skills in Python, Perl, or Tcl
  • Experience with emulation or FPGA prototyping
  • Exposure to low-power verification (UPF/CPF)
  • Background in AI/ML accelerators or GPU architectures

Key Skills

  • Strong problem-solving and debugging mindset
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment
  • Clear communication with design and architecture teams
  • Attention to detail and quality

Typical Day-to-Day

  • Running regressions and debugging failing test cases
  • Writing new UVM test sequences and coverage models
  • Collaborating with RTL designers on bug fixes
  • Reviewing verification plans and coverage reports
  • Participating in design and verification reviews



Requirements
Sr. Network Automation Engineer - Hybrid on site 2 days/week Santa Clara, CA About the Role We’re seeking a hands-on Infrastructure Systems Developer who thrives in building full-stack systems with a focus on network automation. This is not your traditional network engineering role — we’re looking for someone who comes from the DevOps or systems development world and has ventured into networking by building tools, platforms, and automation frameworks that interact with network infrastructure. You will own the architecture and development of a full-stack system that ingests, stores, and acts on network telemetry and configuration data — from backend frameworks to frontend UI to device interaction and automation. Key Responsibilities Design and architect an end-to-end automation system for network configuration and telemetry. Choose and implement the right technologies: Database: SQL, NoSQL, or MDM SQL solutions. Backend: Python (FastAPI, Flask), Go, or similar. Frontend: React, Vue, or modern JS framework. Build integrations with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins). Implement configuration management and telemetry collection using Ansible, SaltStack, or similar tools. Create APIs and services to interface with network devices. Ensure scalable data storage and retrieval for network metadata and telemetry. Collaborate with network engineers, DevOps, and security teams. Requirements Strong programming skills in Python, Go, or equivalent languages. Experience designing and building production-level infrastructure systems. Deep understanding of system architecture and software lifecycle. Familiarity with network automation concepts and tools, even if not a traditional network engineer. Hands-on experience with: CI/CD: Jenkins or equivalent. Config Management: Ansible, Salt. Database systems: SQL and NoSQL (MongoDB, PostgreSQL, etc.). Frontend frameworks: React, Vue, or similar. Comfort working across the full stack and owning the entire lifecycle of a system. Nice to Have Exposure to network protocols and device-level APIs (e.g., NETCONF, RESTCONF). Experience in telemetry collection, parsing, and visualization. Contributions to open-source DevOps or automation tools. Experience with MDM/metadata modeling.
