About the role
You own verification end to end for a first-of-its-kind chiplet. As a founding hire you define the methodology before there's RTL to verify — this role is on the critical path, and getting the coverage strategy and regression infrastructure right early is the single biggest schedule lever we have.
What they're looking for
- 10+ years ASIC/SoC verification, with team leadership on at least one complex SoC from plan to tapeout
- Proven leadership verifying large, complex digital SoCs / subsystems, including interconnect fabric and full-chip closure
- Deep UVM/SystemVerilog, coverage-driven verification, constrained-random methodology
- Hands-on with hardware-assisted verification — emulation (e.g., Palladium/Veloce) and/or FPGA prototyping (e.g., HAPS/Protium)
- Comfortable with mixed-signal verification (Verilog-AMS or SV real models)
- Regression/CI at scale (grid, triage automation), and rigorous coverage closure
