Efficient Computer builds the world's most energy-efficient general-purpose AI chips, delivering up to 100× better efficiency than low-power CPUs. Backed by USV.
About the role
Efficient Computer is rethinking computing from the ground up to solve one of AI's biggest challenges: energy. Our Fabric architecture delivers a 10–100x improvement in energy efficiency for general-purpose computation, including AI, while supporting familiar programming languages and software frameworks—unlocking new possibilities for autonomous machines, intelligent infrastructure, wearables, and space systems. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Education: Bachelor's or Master's/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- Experience: 8+ years of ASIC/SoC design verification, with multiple projects taken from testbench development through tapeout
- UVM and SystemVerilog: Expert in UVM testbench architecture and SystemVerilog for verification, including classes, constraints, interfaces, functional coverage, and assertions (SVA)
- Coverage closure: A track record of driving functional and code coverage to sign-off on multi-million-gate designs
- Debug: Strong ability to debug complex simulation failures independently using industry-standard tools (VCS/Verdi, Xcelium, or Questa)
- Scripting: Python for regression automation, log analysis, and coverage post-processing

Efficient Computer is rethinking computing from the ground up to solve one of AI's biggest challenges: energy. Our Fabric architecture delivers a 10–100x improvement in energy efficiency for general-purpose computation, including AI, while supporting familiar programming languages and software frameworks—unlocking new possibilities for autonomous machines, intelligent infrastructure, wearables, and space systems. With our first processor, Electron E1, now shipping in volume and more than $97 million in Series B financing recently announced, we're accelerating customer deployments and scaling our architecture to data center performance. Join us to build the hardware and software that bring intelligence wherever it's needed and help shape the next generation of computing.
We are looking for a senior Digital Verification contractor to take ownership of verification for complex blocks and subsystems in our SoC, including Efficient's proprietary Fabric technology. You will join our newly formed Verification & Emulation team and work directly with RTL designers and architects. We need someone who can ramp quickly on a spec, stand up or extend a UVM environment with minimal direction,...
