Job description

We have had an exciting opportunity become available for Digital Verification engineers in Cambridge.

Imagine the innovations we could achieve if production-ready, commercial-grade IP and engineering systems were freely available. Open-source development has the potential to transform the semiconductor industry.

Our Ibex CPU and OpenTitan Root of Trust projects have reached production silicon, working with world-leading partners including Google and combining open-source principles with best-practice chip design methodologies.

The Role

You will apply industrial-strength design verification to high-quality open-source designs, helping raise verification standards to the highest commercial level. Your work will span block- and system-level verification across designs including OpenTitan, RISC-V cores, cryptographic CPUs (OTBN), crypto accelerators, and peripherals such as USB, I2C, and SPI.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and debug SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches
• Develop verification plans, tests, and coverage
• Review open-source contributions and debug regressions
• Contribute to test and CI infrastructure
• Collaborate with partners to support successful tapeouts

Requirements

Essential

• 5+ years’ industry experience in design verification
• Strong SystemVerilog and UVM experience
• Full verification lifecycle experience through tapeout
• C and/or Python for tests and automation
• Git/GitHub and collaborative team experience

Desirable

• Formal verification (e.g. Jasper)
• RISC-V or ISA experience
• Security verification knowledge
• Silicon bring-up or post-silicon debug
• Technical leadership experience
