Who You AreAt least 5 years of silicon design-verification experience

End-to-end, concept-to-silicon tapeout experience — has driven verification from an architecture and/or design specification through design freeze and tapeout to production silicon

Production experience with conventional/advanced verification methodologies — SystemVerilog and UVM, assertion-based verification (ABV); comfort with both formal and simulated verification

Experience with Python, C/C++, and similar scripting and programming languages for verification and silicon modeling

Production experience creating portable tests and drivers that apply to silicon validation and post-silicon debug

Strong understanding of silicon micro-architecture and design concepts used in high-performance compute (CPUs, GPUs, accelerators), memory management, and related functionalities

Good to have

Numerics knowledge (floating-point / fixed-point arithmetic, rounding, precision)

Prior work on accelerators, DMA engines, or systolic operations / systolic arrays

Rust, or a functional-programming background — Haskell, or functionally-rooted HDLs such as Bluespec

Familiarity with emulation and prototyping platforms and methodologies

Hands-on experience with silicon debug and bring-up
