Senior Design Verification Engineer
I am working with a fast-growing semiconductor company in Cambridge that is expanding its Digital Verification team and hiring across Mid, Senior, and Lead levels.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a team working at the forefront of open-source silicon development, with a strong focus on production-ready RISC-V-based technologies such as Ibex CPU and OpenTitan, in collaboration with world-class partners including Google.
You’ll be part of a highly technical environment where you can not only deliver high-quality verification work, but also influence methodology, standards, and long-term verification strategy, especially at senior and lead level.
Why this role is exciting
- Permanent role based in Cambridge (hybrid options considered)
- Competitive, negotiable salary
- Work on cutting-edge open-source silicon
- Collaborate with global industry-leading partners
- Real opportunity to shape verification strategy and grow with the team
What you will be doing
- SystemVerilog / UVM-based verification (block & SoC level)
- Verification of CPU, GPU, and complex SoC subsystems
- Debugging regressions and reviewing open-source contributions
- Driving coverage closure, constrained-random verification, and CI flows
- Mentoring engineers (Senior/Lead level)
- Supporting successful tapeouts and full verification lifecycles
What they are looking for
- Experience in digital design verification (Mid to Lead level depending on seniority)
- Strong SystemVerilog / UVM expertise
- Experience in CPU and/or GPU verification
- Strong C / Python scripting and Git/GitHub workflow experience
- Exposure to full tapeout lifecycle (Senior/Lead level preferred)
