United StatesPosted Jul 30, 2026

Build, hire, and mentor a team of talented engineers, supporting their career growth and professional development. Lead a pre-silicon verification team for the development of custom IP and Subsystem (SS) components with focus on architectural and micro-architectural based functions and features. Interact with architects and design engineers to create testplans covering verification strategy, test requirements, and test environments for IP- or SS-level verification. Write, execute, enhance, and debug constrained random stimulus, scoreboards and checkers, and assertions to verify design correctness. Develop Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) components to interface between test code and verification simulation environments. Collaborate across verification teams on vertical and horizontal reuse of components. Define and implement functional coverage and drive coverage closure. Triage and debug testbench, simulation, and emulation fails. Write makefiles and scripts for verification infrastructure. Apply Agile development methodologies including code reviews, sprint planning, and feature deployment. Provide technical leadership through mentorship and strong teamwork. Doctorate in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 3+ years technical engineering experience OR Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 6+ years technical engineering experience OR Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 8+ years technical engineering experience OR Equivalent Experience.
