The SoC/ASIC Design Verification Engineer will verify silicon design in security-sensitive settings, engage with customers, and develop verification collateral for secure silicon.
zeroRISC
zeroRISC is redefining chip security and supply chain integrity by empowering device owners and operators in crucial sectors like silicon production, IoT, and critical infrastructure with full device ownership, control, and visibility. Led by the founders of the OpenTitan secure silicon project, zeroRISC is driving commercial adoption of high assurance software and services rooted in open silicon. Our products forge an immutable connection between hardware and software, enabling users to trust their devices no matter where they’re built or where they’re deployed.
Role Overview
As a zeroRISC SoC/ASIC Design Verification Engineer, you will develop, verify, and maintain silicon in security-sensitive settings, including root-of-trust technology. You will elevate and solidify zeroRISC's status as the leading provider of secure silicon IP by developing essential verification collateral. You will interact directly with zeroRISC customers to understand their requirements and deliver solutions benefitting both customer and zeroRISC alike. You will participate in the whole chip design process from architecture to tapeout and silicon validation. By engaging with the world's premier open-source silicon community, you will support our mission of open secure silicon everywhere. We're looking for engineers with strong design verification skills (and a long view of secure system architecture) who are also fast, flexible learners and enthusiastic about open source.
Key Responsibilities:
- Verify ASIC/SoC functionality, performance, security, and power throughout the full chip design life cycle, from test plan definition to sign-off
- Build high quality verification environments at the chip/top and block levels following engineering best practices
- Write thorough verification documentation including test plans
- Diagnose, debug, and resolve regression failures and other errors
- Achieve coverage closure
- Ensure design functionality while upholding stringent timelines in collaboration with architecture, design, software, system, and silicon validation teams as well as engineering program managers
What We’re Looking For:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science, or a related technical field or equivalent experience
- 4 years of experience with simulation-based verification methodologies and languages such as UVM and SystemVerilog or formal verification-based techniques including industry standard tools
- Experience developing and maintaining testbenches, test cases, and verification environments for simulation-based verification or formal verification environments
Preferred Qualifications (not required):
- Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science, or a related technical field or equivalent experience
- Knowledge of security ASICs or accelerators (e.g. cryptography accelerators or GPUs)
- Knowledge of computer architecture and memory subsystem architectures
- Experience verifying low power designs
- Experience with scripting languages such as Python
Why Join Us?
- Your work will directly contribute to the development of cutting-edge security solutions, protecting critical systems in industrial and IoT environments
- As a seed-stage startup, this role offers significant opportunities for learning and career growth
- Join a close-knit, innovative team where you can learn, grow, and contribute to building something meaningful in the security space
