Company

hirify.global develops hardware and compute systems designed to run AI models efficiently, including a compute subsystem for high-performance machine-learning workloads.

What you will do

• Contribute to a scalable compute-subsystem verification methodology spanning blocks, subsystems, full-chip validation, and system-level validation.
• Own subsystem and block-level verification execution, including testbenches, tests, and related artifacts for structural and functional coverage closure.
• Qualify software-stack components running on the subsystem.
• Plan and drive intermediate and sign-off reviews covering verification plans, execution progress, and closure.
• Drive verification toward design freeze, tapeout, and other silicon milestones.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of silicon design-verification experience.
• End-to-end concept-to-silicon tapeout experience, including driving verification from architecture or design specification through design freeze, tapeout, and production silicon.
• Production experience with SystemVerilog and UVM, assertion-based verification, formal verification, and simulation-based verification.
• Experience with Python, C/C++, and similar scripting or programming languages for verification and silicon modeling.
• Production experience creating portable tests and drivers for silicon validation and post-silicon debugging.
• Strong understanding of silicon microarchitecture and high-performance compute design concepts involving CPUs, GPUs, accelerators, memory management, and related functionality.

Nice to have

• Knowledge of floating-point and fixed-point arithmetic, rounding, and precision.
• Experience with accelerators, DMA engines, systolic operations, or systolic arrays.
• Experience with Rust, functional programming, Haskell, or functionally rooted HDLs such as Bluespec.
• Familiarity with emulation and prototyping platforms and methodologies.
• Hands-on experience with silicon debugging and bring-up.

Culture & Benefits

• Hybrid work with up to 3 weeks of remote work; 4 weeks of accrued PTO and 12 company holidays.
• Company-subsidized medical, dental, vision, life, HSA, FSA, disability, and travel insurance options.
• Roth or pre-tax 401(k) with a 5% company contribution, plus additional life-insurance coverage.
• $1,500 annual professional-development budget and up to $1,000 for home-office setup.
• Onsite team lunch and dinner Monday through Friday, commute support, and monthly cell, internet, and flexible-perk reimbursements.
• Paid parental leave, pregnancy disability leave, flexible return-to-work hours, family-support funding, and paid mental-health benefits.
