About this role

Efficient Computer is rethinking computing from the ground up to solve one of AI's biggest challenges: energy. Our Fabric architecture delivers a 10–100x improvement in energy efficiency for general-purpose computation, including AI, while supporting familiar programming languages and software frameworks—unlocking new possibilities for autonomous machines, intelligent infrastructure, wearables, and space systems. With our first processor, Electron E1, now shipping in volume and more than $97 million in Series B financing recently announced, we're accelerating customer deployments and scaling our architecture to data center performance. Join us to build the hardware and software that bring intelligence wherever it's needed and help shape the next generation of computing.

We are looking for an experienced Design Verification Engineer to drive the functional verification of complex SoC/IP designs from specification through tapeout on a newly formed  verification team. This is a great opportunity to have an influence on our products and processes as we move from the initial stages of product development to market release and scaled volume production.  Join our team and help us shape the future of computing at the edge and beyond!

Required Qualifications & Experience 

  • Education: Bachelor's or Master's/PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience: 10+ years of progressive experience in ASIC/SoC design verification with multiple full cycles of ownership from testbench architecture through tapeout.
  • UVM and SystemVerilog: Expertise in UVM-based testbench architecture and constrained-random verification methodology 
  • C/C++ experience for modelling or verification. 
  • Coverage Closure: Demonstrated track record of driving functional and code coverage to tapeout sign-off on complex, multi-million-gate SoC/ASIC designs.
  • Debug Skills: Proven ability to debug complex simulation failures.
  • Scripting & Automation: Proficiency in Python for test automation, log analysis, coverage post-processing, and regression flow development.
  • Communication: Ability to clearly  communicate verification risk, status and tradeoffs to technical peers and program leadership.
