About the Role

You will lead verification strategy for next-generation AI hardware and guide verification engineers in validating AI core functionality and performance. You will architect verification plans, benchmark on-chip networks, develop portable test strategies, implement resiliency testing, and align hardware verification with software requirements.

Requirements

  • Experience leading ASIC or SoC teams through complex tape-outs
  • Expertise in AI and ML architectures, tensor operations, and high-performance compute
  • Knowledge of AI data types, AI data-movement compute patterns, and on-chip network validation
  • Proficiency in UVM, SystemVerilog, and cocotb
  • Experience with coverage-driven verification methodologies
  • Eligibility to access U.S. export-controlled technology

Responsibilities

  • Lead verification engineers and define AI core test strategies
  • Architect verification plans for mixed-precision data types and AI transformations
  • Benchmark on-chip networks for throughput, bandwidth, and congestion management
  • Implement concurrency controls, multi-core synchronization, and error injection
  • Develop portable verification strategies from subsystem simulation through FPGA and silicon
  • Align hardware architecture and software requirements to meet performance targets
