About Recogni:
Recogni’s mission is to design a vision-oriented artificial intelligence system for autonomous vehicles from the ground up. The system will deliver unprecedented inference performance through novel edge processing, allowing vehicles to see farther and make driving decisions faster than humans while consuming minimal amounts of energy. We’re looking for self-motivated team members who crave a challenge and feel energized to roll up their sleeves and help realize Recogni’s enormous potential.
Backed by Celesta Capital, Continental, Robert Bosch, GreatPoint Ventures, Toyota AI Ventures, BMW i Ventures, The Mayfield Fund, and other leading VC partners, the company is headquartered in San Jose, California with additional operations in Munich, Germany. We value having diverse teams and want you to grow as we grow—whether you’re just starting out in your career or managing a large team, you’ll be amazed at the magnitude of your impact.
About the role:
As a member of the Recogni ASIC Design & Verification team, you will contribute to the development of high-performance and low-power convolutional neural network accelerator ASIC that forms the core of the company’s flagship perception module product for autonomous driving applications.
This ASIC’s design closely couples novel computational accelerator units with 3rd-party SoC IP blocks to form an end-to-end vision perception module that achieves record-breaking computational performance at low power.
Responsibilities:
- Ensure the pre-silicon correctness and quality of a multi-million gate ASIC that integrates computational accelerators and 3rd-party SoC IP blocks.
- SoC/Subsystem verification of embedded CPUs such as ARM/RISC-V and interconnect subsystem (including C and assembly diag validation)
- Develop the block-level, sub-system and full-chip verification environment and tests to implement test plans.
- Work closely with design and architecture teams to understand the functional and performance goals of the design; and work together to make the design-under-test work under all specified circumstances.
- Triage and debug functional and performance issues with the design-under-test.
- Handle bug tracking and coverage convergence.
- Perform diagnostic and post-silicon validation tests in the lab.
Required Qualifications:
- Master’s or higher degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or similar field.
- Strong knowledge of C/C++, Verilog, and System Verilog.
- Strong knowledge and/or coursework in computer architecture, Digital design, and VLSI.
- Exposure with design and verification tools (Synthesis/ Simulation/ Waveform).
- Knowledge of x86/ARM/RISC-V computer architectures, memory hierarchy, cache coherency, virtual memory, multicore CPU operation.
- Self-starter and highly-motivated to work in a dynamic start-up environment.
Preferred qualifications:
- Knowledge of and/or experience with UVM and Python.
- Familiarity with AMBA/APB/AXI Protocol.
- Internship or project work in computer architecture, logic design, or verification.
- Knowledge of and/or experience with AI/ML accelerators
- Knowledge of and/or ASIC or SOC utilizing ARM cores
