Director, SoC Design Engineering

TL;DR

Director, SoC Design Engineering (SoC Verification): Lead end-to-end functional verification for cutting-edge system-on-chip (SoC) designs with an accent on scalable, reusable verification methodologies and first-pass silicon success. Focus on architecting simulation/emulation/formal verification strategies, driving verification closure for critical interfaces, and integrating complex IPs while mentoring verification engineers and improving pre-silicon to post-silicon correlation.

Company

hirify.global builds scalable engineering solutions across product enablement, custom ASIC, and foundry enablement.

What you will do

• Architect and define end-to-end SoC verification strategies across simulation, emulation, and formal verification.
• Develop and execute block, subsystem, and SoC-level verification plans, including test benches and coverage models.
• Lead verification closure for critical interfaces (AXI, ACE, CHI, and interconnect fabrics) and drive interface correctness.
• Collaborate with SoC architects, RTL designers, and firmware teams on verification hooks, assertions, and coverage metrics.
• Oversee verification of integrated IPs (PCIe Gen6/7, DDR5/6, Ethernet) and ensure successful SoC integration.
• Lead emulation and performance modeling, debug complex pre-silicon issues, and mentor verification engineering teams.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s (or BS) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with 12+ years of relevant experience.
• 5+ years of people management experience.
