Verification Engineer

Senior Hardware Verification Engineer

Join a highly engineering-focused technology organization developing custom hardware solutions for low-latency, high-performance computing environments. This role offers the opportunity to work closely with hardware and software engineers on complex ASIC and FPGA platforms while helping shape the next generation of performance-critical systems.

Unlike large, process-heavy organizations, this team operates with a high degree of autonomy and ownership. Engineers are expected to be hands-on, resourceful, and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where requirements and solutions evolve quickly.

What You'll Do

• Develop and maintain block-level and system-level verification environments for complex digital designs.
• Collaborate closely with hardware and software engineers throughout the development lifecycle.
• Create automated verification and regression frameworks to support rapid development and testing cycles.
• Perform deep debugging and root-cause analysis, identifying whether issues originate from the testbench, RTL, or broader system.
• Drive coverage closure using metrics-based verification methodologies.
• Contribute to validation efforts spanning simulation, silicon bring-up, and system-level testing.
• Participate in architecture and design discussions, providing verification-focused input early in the development process.
• Work within a small engineering team where individuals are encouraged to take ownership beyond traditional role boundaries.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 4+ years of experience verifying complex ASIC or FPGA-based digital designs.
• Strong experience with UVM and SystemVerilog.
• Experience developing reusable verification components and scalable testbenches.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills in complex hardware environments.
• Experience with regression management, coverage analysis, and verification closure.
• Familiarity with commercial EDA verification tools.
• Experience working in Linux-based development environments.
• Scripting experience with Python, Tcl, Bash, or similar languages.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with gate-level simulation (GLS).
• Experience supporting post-silicon validation or bring-up of new devices.
• Understanding of processor architectures such as RISC-V, x86, ARM, or similar.
• Previous experience in a design engineering role.
• Exposure to C++ development.
• Experience working on performance-sensitive compute, networking, accelerator, or embedded hardware platforms.

What Makes Someone Successful Here

• Thrives in smaller teams with significant ownership and accountability.
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity rather than highly defined processes.
• Enjoys collaborating across disciplines and solving problems wherever they arise.
• Able to work independently while remaining highly collaborative.
• Interested in contributing beyond strict verification responsibilities when needed.
