Senior / Principal Design Verification Engineer

Senior / Principal Design Verification Engineer
In this role you will have the opportunity to apply industrial-strength design verification to high quality open source code bases. We are raising the bar for verification of open source projects to meet the highest commercial standards. Your focus will be on the verification of the range of open source designs we are producing for the future iterations of OpenTitan
. This includes a RISC-V core (Ibex), a separate special purpose CPU for cryptographic operations, an AES accelerator and a variety of peripherals (such as USB, I2C and SPI).
You will:
Design, implement and debug block-level and system-level tests and testbenches using SystemVerilog and UVM
Stay up to date with the latest best practices and bring innovations to lowRISC
Develop test and coverage plans for new or updated silicon designs
Actively review contributions to our open source projects
Triage and debug nightly regressions
Contribute to the ongoing design and development of our test and continuous integration infrastructure
Collaborate with partners to author papers for academic and industry conferences
The Candidate
5 years+ prior industry experience of design verification including significant SystemVerilog and UVM usage
Experience across the full verification cycle from initial planning to final tapeout
Confident providing work estimates and coordinating work with a project manager
Comfortable working with engineers across multiple organisations in multidisciplinary teams
Undergraduate degree in a technical discipline or equivalent experience
Broad experience range with background across multiple types of hardware blocks
Understanding of security countermeasures against attacks such as fault injection or side-channel analysis
Experience working with the RISC-V ISA or other instruction sets
Familiarity with Git and code review using services such as GitHub, GitLab or Gerrit
Programming using C and/or Python in tests and automation
Formal verification with tools such as Jasper Gold
Experience with leading a team or being a primary technical contributor in a major project
The Company
Five years ago, lowRISC (a community interest company) took up the challenge of helping to bring the world’s first commercially viable, collaborative, open source silicon root of trust (RoT) design, OpenTitan, to market. We didn’t want to create a ‘one-and-done monolith’ though — instead, we set out to use the project as the proving ground for our general development framework: the Silicon Commons. This innovative workflow merges open source software development best practices with an industrial-strength chip design methodology, enabling the creation of reusable, high quality silicon IP by our diverse coalition of corporate and academic partners including Google, ETH Zurich, G+D Mobile, Nuvoton, Rivos, Seagate, Western Digital and Winbond.
Join us and be part of a company positively changing the future of silicon design.
lowRISC offers a generous benefits package including:
Competitive salary within the range of £61,000 - £94,000
