Company

hirify.global provides semiconductor solutions that serve as essential building blocks for data infrastructure across enterprise, cloud, and AI architectures.

What you will do

• Develop and execute comprehensive verification plans for high-speed memory interfaces (PCIe 6/7, CXL 3.2/4.0).
• Architect and build scalable UVM/System Verilog-based verification environments, testbenches, and checkers.
• Validate CXL.io, CXL.cache, and CXL.mem protocols, focusing on coherency and memory semantics.
• Implement System Verilog Assertions (SVA) to improve early bug detection and ensure protocol compliance.
• Drive functional, code, and assertion coverage closure to meet signoff goals.
• Collaborate with design, architecture, and firmware teams to ensure spec compliance and design robustness.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 5-10 years of experience in ASIC/SoC verification.
• Expertise in System Verilog and UVM methodology.
• Strong knowledge of PCIe and CXL protocols and architecture.
• Experience debugging complex verification issues using industry-standard simulation and waveform tools.
• Eligibility to access export-controlled information (e.g., US citizen, lawful permanent resident, or protected individual).

Nice to have

• Experience with assertion-based verification (SVA).
• Exposure to emulation platforms such as Palladium or Veloce.
• Scripting skills in Python, Perl, or Shell for automation.
• Knowledge of low-power verification (UPF).
