Company

hirify.global develops energy-efficient computing architecture and processors for AI, autonomous machines, intelligent infrastructure, wearables, space systems, and edge computing.

What you will do

• Drive functional verification of complex SoC and IP designs from specification through tapeout.
• Own verification across multiple full cycles, from testbench architecture through tapeout sign-off.
• Build and develop UVM-based testbench environments and constrained-random verification flows.
• Drive functional and code coverage closure for complex, multi-million-gate SoC and ASIC designs.
• Debug complex simulation failures and develop Python-based test automation, log analysis, coverage post-processing, and regression flows.
• Communicate verification risks, status, and tradeoffs to technical peers and program leadership.

Requirements

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

Nice to have

• Experience in formal verification using JasperGold or a similar tool.
• Experience building or using AI agentic flows for design verification.
• Software- or firmware-based testing experience and collaboration with software teams before silicon.
• Post-silicon experience.
• Understanding of and experience with processors such as ARM or RISC-V, AMBA AXI/ACE/CHI interconnects, memory controllers, DMA engines, interrupt controllers, and standard peripherals.
• Experience with power-aware verification and UPF.

Culture & Benefits

• Opportunity to take ownership and influence products and verification processes during the transition from early development to market release and volume production.
• Competitive base salary, annual bonus, meaningful equity, and comprehensive benefits.
• 401(k) match and company-paid benefits.
• Paid parental leave and flexibility.
• Opportunities to grow technical skills and career as the company scales.
