Company

hirify.global develops high-power satellite platforms for commercial and U.S. government missions across multiple orbits.

What you will do

• Develop and execute verification plans for block-level, subsystem-level, and full-chip environments.
• Build SystemVerilog and UVM testbenches with agents, monitors, scoreboards, checkers, and coverage models.
• Develop assertions, integrate formal verification, and drive constrained-random and directed testing.
• Run simulations and regressions, debug failures, perform root-cause analysis, and achieve coverage closure.
• Manage simulation farms and CI pipelines while advancing design-for-verification methodologies.
• Collaborate with architecture, RTL, DFT, firmware, physical design, and silicon validation engineers; support silicon bring-up and post-silicon validation.

Requirements

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience in ASIC or SoC verification.
• Strong knowledge of SystemVerilog, digital logic, RTL design, DFT, and hardware verification flows.
• Experience with UVM, constrained-random testing, functional and code coverage, SystemVerilog assertions, regression management, and gate-level simulation.
• Proficiency with simulation and debug tools such as VCS, Xcelium, Questa, Verdi, or SimVision, plus scripting in Python, Perl, or TCL.
• Experience with reference models, embedded processor-based designs, firmware or bare-metal coding, standard interfaces such as APB, AHB, or AXI, and post-silicon validation.

Nice to have

• Experience with low-power verification, analog behavioral models, or physical design flows.
• Experience working in cross-functional, geographically distributed teams.
• Experience with space, telecom, or RF/digital mixed systems.

Culture & Benefits

• High-ownership, hands-on role shaping first-generation silicon.
• Opportunity to work on high-power satellite platforms and complex spacecraft systems.
• Comprehensive benefits including paid time off, medical, dental and vision coverage, life insurance, and paid parental leave.
• Equity participation is included in the compensation package.
