Senior ASIC Verification Engineer (AI Hardware)

Senior ASIC Verification Engineer (AI Hardware) - Remote (U.S.) - No Visa Sponsorship

Overview

Our client an AI / Compute company of the verge of being the next Nvidia is looking for an experienced ASIC Verification Engineer to help ensure the quality, reliability, and performance of their next-generation AI-focused silicon. In this role, you'll partner closely with design, architecture, and software teams to validate complex hardware systems and contribute to cutting-edge compute solutions. This position also offers the opportunity to take ownership of verification efforts and influence best practices across projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and drive verification strategies for advanced ASIC designs used in AI/compute workloads

• Build and execute detailed verification plans, including coverage goals and validation approaches

• Develop scalable verification environments using System Verilog and UVM

• Create simulation infrastructure, including testbenches and both directed and constrained-random test scenarios

• Work cross-functionally with design and architecture teams to achieve coverage closure and functional accuracy

• Identify, debug, and resolve design issues throughout pre-silicon and early silicon validation phases

• Partner with FPGA and emulation teams to support early prototyping and validation efforts

• Track project milestones, manage verification deliverables, and proactively address risks

Required Background

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in ASIC or SoC verification

• Strong proficiency with System Verilog and UVM-based verification flows

• Deep understanding of verification planning, coverage methodologies, and testbench architecture

• Experience working with leading EDA toolchains (e.g., Cadence, Synopsys, Siemens EDA)

• Solid debugging skills, including waveform analysis and scripting (Python, Tcl, or similar)

• Exposure to high-performance compute architectures such as AI accelerators, memory hierarchies, or high-speed interfaces

• Demonstrated success verifying complex silicon designs

Nice to Have

• Advanced degree in a relevant engineering field

• Experience with hardware/software integration or co-verification

• Familiarity with formal verification methods

• Exposure to post-silicon validation, bring-up, or lab debug processes
