Netpreme builds the X-Mem™ Networked Memory Tier™, co-designed from silicon to tokens. Backed by E14 Fund.
About the role
We are seeking a Director of ASIC Verification who leads from the front: you'll own verification strategy, sign-off, and the team — and you'll also be one of the strongest hands-on verification engineers here, writing testbenches, closing coverage, and debugging the hardest failures. This role will be performed onsite from our office in Santa Clara, CA. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
- 8+ years of progressive ASIC/SOC verification, with 5+ years leading verification teams
- Demonstrable experience writing verification code, building testbenches, and closing coverage
- Multiple tapeouts in advanced process nodes where you owned both deep technical work and sign-off
- Hands-on experience with high-speed protocol IP — Ethernet, UCIe, UALink, or comparable
- Fluent across the full ASIC/SOC lifecycle — microarchitecture through tape-out — on designs integrating interconnect, I/O, and memory subsystems
More about this role
The biggest bottleneck in AI systems today is memory. Chips compute faster than they can be fed data—a problem known as the memory wall—and Netpreme is building the solution that allows AI memory to scale independently of AI compute. Our approach spans the full stack, from a proprietary memory management framework at the XPU kernel and OS levels to X-Mem™, the world’s first Memory Processing Unit (MPU) silicon. Founded by MIT researchers at the intersection of optical networking, ML systems, and GPU kernel optimization, we’re based in Cambridge, MA, and Santa Clara, CA. We’re looking for people who want to own hard problems end to end—and help shape the next generation of AI systems.
