Overview
Rigpa.ai is a fabless chip design start-up focusing on AI ASIC chips to accelerate AI applications. This role is for a Digital IC Design Verification Engineer (All Levels) located on-site in Cambridge or Edinburgh.
Role Description
This is a full-time on-site role for a Digital IC Design Verification Engineer at all levels. You will verify the functional correctness of complex AI accelerator designs, develop verification environments, and drive coverage to ensure first-silicon success.
Qualifications
* Experience in Digital IC Design Verification
* Skills in digital design verification techniques such as SystemVerilog, UVM, C/C++, Python, etc
* Ability to collaborate effectively within a team and work on-site
* Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
* Experience in AI chip design verification is a plus
Key responsibilities
* Collaborate with design teams to develop verification strategies for AI accelerator blocks and entire SoC subsystems.
* Build SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches, including test plans, monitors, checkers and constrained-random stimulus.
* Perform coverage-driven and assertion-based verification; measure functional and code coverage to identify gaps and close them.
* Debug complex hardware–software interactions, reproduce silicon bugs in simulation and collaborate with architecture, RTL and software teams to resolve issues.
* Develop verification frameworks that scale from unit-level simulation to emulation and post-silicon validation, including high-level models and test generators.
* 5+ years of experience in digital design verification for CPU/GPU/NPU or AI accelerator IP.
* Expertise in SystemVerilog, UVM and scripting languages (Python/C++/Perl/TCL).
* Solid understanding of computer architecture, memory hierarchies and standard bus protocols (AMBA/AXI, NoC).
* Experience with formal verification and assertion-based methodologies; knowledge of low-power verification techniques is desirable.
* Ability to work in a fast-paced startup environment and collaborate across hardware and software teams.
