About the Job

Requirements

  • Experience as an ASIC/SoC lead, including leading teams through complex tape-outs.
  • Expertise in AI/ML architectures, high-performance computing, and tensor-based operations.
  • Expertise in architecting verification plans for mixed-precision data types (FP8, BF16, INT8) and validating complex AI transformations.
  • Experience benchmarking on-chip networks under high-demand traffic, including throughput, bandwidth, and congestion management.
  • Ability to implement concurrency controls and multi-core synchronization to address edge-case failures.
  • Ability to develop portable test strategies that scale from subsystem-level simulations to FPGA and final silicon.
  • Proficiency in UVM, SystemVerilog, and cocotb.
  • Ability to bridge hardware architecture and software requirements to meet performance targets.

Responsibilities

  • Guide a team of Verification Engineers and shape test strategies to validate the functionality and performance of the AI core.
  • Validate mixed-precision AI data types and complex AI transformations.
  • Benchmark on-chip networks under high-demand traffic and ensure throughput, bandwidth, and congestion management meet peak requirements.
  • Implement robust concurrency controls and multi-core synchronization to handle edge-case failures.
  • Develop portable test strategies that scale from subsystem-level simulations to FPGA and final silicon.
  • Integrate advanced automation frameworks and AI-driven verification techniques into the existing lifecycle.
  • Learn proprietary AI workloads and their memory access patterns within the architecture.
  • Identify architectural constraints of the SoC and work to push bandwidth limits further.
