Company

hirify.global is building personal AI systems spanning local-inference hardware, training infrastructure, user interfaces, and deep learning research.

What you will do

• Define verification strategies and plans from architectural and micro-architectural specifications.
• Build scalable, reusable SystemVerilog and UVM test benches with agents, scoreboards, drivers, monitors, and predictors.
• Develop constrained-random sequences, functional coverage models, and code coverage analysis.
• Apply formal verification methods, including SVA and property checking, to validate critical logic.
• Use ZeBu, HAPS, Palladium, and Protium platforms for emulation and prototyping.
• Debug waveform failures, resolve functional issues with RTL designers, and automate regression flows using Python, Perl, Bash, or TCL.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science and 5+ years of industry experience.
• Deep hands-on experience building UVM-based verification environments.
• Expertise in SystemVerilog, object-oriented programming, randomization, and functional coverage.
• Strong understanding of pipelines, cache coherency, memory consistency models, and high-speed interconnects such as AXI and CHI.
• Experience verifying high-performance silicon, including CPUs, GPUs, AI accelerators, or complex SoCs.
• Collaborative approach to working with RTL design, performance modeling, verification, and compiler teams.

Nice to have

• Experience with SVA and formal tools such as Jasper or VC Formal.
• Understanding of emulation and prototyping environments.
• Post-silicon bring-up, testing, and debugging experience.
• Experience with CI/CD, regression management, EDA tools, and verification infrastructure.
