Company

hirify.global develops energy-efficient general-purpose processors for continuous AI/ML-enabled computing in IoT and edge devices.

What you will do

• Define end-to-end verification strategies across block, subsystem, and full-chip levels through tapeout.
• Develop and review verification plans, stimulus strategies, coverage goals, and sign-off criteria.
• Architect scalable UVM-based testbenches with agents, scoreboards, reference models, assertions, and coverage monitors.
• Lead constrained-random testing, functional coverage closure, regression optimization, and complex simulation debug.
• Drive full-chip verification of boot sequences, interrupts, DMA flows, power-on reset, multi-block interactions, CDC, RDC, and multi-power-domain behavior.
• Lead and mentor the verification team, coordinate with RTL, compiler, DFT, physical design, emulation, and post-silicon teams, and represent verification readiness during tapeout sign-off.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of ASIC/SoC design verification experience, including at least 3 years leading verification strategy, sign-off, and team execution.
• Deep expertise in UVM architecture, constrained-random verification, SystemVerilog classes and constraints, functional coverage, SVA, interfaces, and packages.
• Experience closing functional and code coverage to tapeout sign-off on complex multi-million-gate SoC or ASIC designs.
• Strong understanding of processors such as ARM or RISC-V, AMBA AXI/ACE/CHI, memory controllers, DMA engines, interrupt controllers, and standard peripherals.
• Proficiency in Python, Perl, or Tcl for automation, log analysis, coverage processing, and regression development, plus clear technical communication.

Culture & Benefits

• Competitive compensation with meaningful equity.
• 401(k) match and company-paid benefits.
• Paid parental leave.
• Flexibility and support for personal and professional development.
