Design Verification (DV) Engineer
About The Role
We're looking for an experienced Design Verification engineer with at least 5 years of pre-silicon verification experience in end to end verification for complex IP, subsystems, and/or SoC system level verification from plan to functional closure. This is a senior individual-contributor role and you'll partner closely with our HW-design and software teams, driving DensityAI's AI accelerator program from first silicon through scale-out.
What You'll Do
- Own an entire testing domain based on your expertise
- Develop end to end testing strategy from IP to SOC-level and to emulation for our AI accelerator silicon
- Use and develop AI-assisted tool flows to accelerate verification and emulation timeline
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in one or more of the following: Block Level/Sub System Verification, CPU Subsystem/IP integration, SoC/full-chip Verification, Emulation testing, DMA/NoC Verification, Multi-SoC/Die to Die protocol verification, Debug for functional closure of complex design or SOCs
- Proven records on end-to-end pre-silicon verification ownership and deliverables
- Strong Interest in optimizing Verification techniques and life cycle using the latest agentic/AI assisted flows
- Exceptional abilities in analyzing and understanding specification from both hardware and software perspectives
- Well-versed in UVM methodology and testbench architecture
- Ability to define clear goals and milestones to meet aggressive timelines and quickly adapt to a dynamic design life cycle
- Self driven and passionate, with a strong sense of respectful team collaboration
- Flexible Mindset to jump in and contribute to multiple domains within verification as needed
- (Optional) RISC-V, formal verification, emulation platforms (Palladium, Veloce, or equivalent), or post-silicon bring-up
