About the Role
Raspberry Pi is seeking an IC Verification Engineer to join our expanding ASIC team to help deliver our next-generation products. We have been building our own silicon at Raspberry Pi for some years now, starting with the RP2040 microcontroller in 2021, and following with the RP1 southbridge chip for the main Raspberry Pi platform on Raspberry Pi 5. Our second-generation microcontroller, RP2350, was released in 2024. The ASIC team looks after everything in the silicon flow, from specification through design, verification, and implementation, including ATE test and qualification. With a small team, we get involved in all aspects of getting successful products into production.
As a Verification Engineer, you will take ownership for IP and chip level verification planning and execution, and will be constantly interacting with the design team, composing detailed verification plans and creating test benches from scratch or using shared verification components.
