What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Design Verification Engineer position at Acceler8 Talent?
Acceler8 Talent is partnered with an early-stage company to hire a Design Verification Engineer.
The team is developing advanced AI-focused compute platforms, with innovation spanning from silicon design through system-level integration. Their goal is to build highly optimized infrastructure for next-generation AI workloads.
This position focuses on developing and owning verification efforts for a new class of AI silicon. Rather than maintaining existing environments, the role emphasizes building verification infrastructure and methodology from the ground up. The engineer will work across block and SoC levels, collaborating closely with architecture and design teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop scalable verification environments using SystemVerilog and UVM, starting from initial setup through full deployment
- Define and implement test strategies, including constrained-random approaches and functional coverage models
- Debug complex issues spanning RTL components and full-system interactions
- Establish verification workflows, regression strategies, and supporting automation frameworks
- Partner closely with RTL and architecture teams to ensure design correctness and coverage
- Contribute to the development and standardization of verification methodologies across the organization
Qualifications
- Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM
- Experience building verification environments from the ground up
- Solid debugging skills across both RTL and system-level behavior
- Understanding of modern SoC design, including interconnects and integration challenges
- Experience with scripting languages such as Python, TCL, or similar
- Background in high-performance compute systems (e.g., CPUs, GPUs, or AI accelerators)
- Familiarity with emulation platforms or post-silicon validation
- Exposure to high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, or similar technologies
- Experience working in startup or rapidly evolving environments
Leveling & Expectations
*Openings available at senior through principal levels, depending on experience and scope
- Expected to take ownership of verification areas and drive them independently
- Comfortable working with limited structure and high levels of autonomy
- Focused on building scalable systems and infrastructure, not just individual tests
Salary : $200,000 - $300,000
