About the job
Verify Velaura’s Physical AI SoC at system level, from boot and security through power, IO, memory, and workload performance, supporting sign-off and tape-out.
What you'll do
- Plan and execute verification for assigned SoC areas, including boot, root of trust, clock and reset, low power, IO, and memory subsystems.
- Build and maintain SoC simulation environments and flows; run CDC and RDC analysis and verify latency, bandwidth, and QoS under representative workloads.
- Support coverage closure, SoC sign-off criteria, and tape-out readiness.
What they ask for
- 10 or more years in design verification, including significant SoC-level experience.
- Experience with multiple SoC verification projects, including sign-off and tape-out.
- SystemVerilog, UVM, C and C++, coverage-driven system-level verification, and simulation flows for ARM or RISC-V SoCs.
- Experience with PCIe and LPDDR5 or LPDDR6, boot and root of trust, system-level clock and reset verification, CDC/RDC tools, and UPF-based low-power verification.
Nice to have
- Depth in security, memory subsystem, interconnect, or power management; HW/SW co-verification; emulation or FPGA prototyping; or post-silicon bring-up and debug.
- Experience with functional safety standards, QoS or real-time systems, robotics or related fields, or AI-assisted verification workflows.
