Senior Verification Engineer
Help Shape the Next Generation of AI Accelerator Hardware
London
I'm currently working with a well-funded semiconductor start-up that's developing a new generation of AI accelerator architectures designed to deliver significantly greater efficiency than traditional compute solutions.
As the team continues to grow, they're looking for an experienced Verification Engineer to take ownership of verification strategy across a range of cutting-edge ASIC developments. This is an opportunity to influence both methodology and architecture while working alongside highly experienced Design, Software and Systems Engineers.
The Role
You'll play a key role in ensuring the quality and robustness of complex accelerator designs, defining verification methodology and building scalable verification environments from the ground up.
Working within a collaborative engineering team, you'll have the opportunity to shape verification processes, influence architectural decisions and drive continuous improvements across the development flow.
