Location: On-site in Vancouver, BC, Canada or the Bay Area, California, United States.

Company

Early-stage chiplet startup developing high-volume, high-performance chiplet-based systems with a focus on power, area, manufacturability, and design flexibility.

What you will do

• Develop and execute verification plans for connectivity IPs and chiplets, including block- and chip-level test cases.
• Create and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM verification environments, assertions, testbenches, and regression infrastructure.
• Enable design CI/CD pipelines and track verification progress toward RTL freeze through test-plan and coverage reviews.
• Collaborate with design engineers on microarchitecture, test planning, coverage, design quality, and Ethernet standards compliance.
• Integrate third-party VIPs, verify mixed-signal IPs, and coordinate feature and bug-tracking requests.
• Develop and maintain DPI-based firmware simulation and GLS environments for functional and power simulations, while providing technical leadership to junior verification engineers.
