Senior Design Verification Engineer

2 weeks ago

Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom lowRISC CIC Full time £68,000 - £88,000 per year

Senior DV Engineer

Imagine the innovations we could achieve together if production-ready commercial-grade IP components and engineering systems were available to everyone, for free. At lowRISC we believe that open source development can transform the semiconductor industry.

Our Ibex CPU and OpenTitan Root of Trust projects have been taken to production silicon, partnering with world-leading organisations including Google and Rivos, combining open-source approaches with best practice chip design methodologies.

lowRISC is a non-profit Community Interest Company: with a business model that includes member fees and engineering services we have shown that it is possible to run world- leading projects collaboratively for everyone's benefit. Originally a spinout from Cambridge University's Computer Lab, our UK team is based in Cambridge and our Switzerland team is based in Zurich.

The Role

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 including OpenTitan. Verification will be at both system and block level; blocks include RISC-V cores, a separate special purpose CPU for cryptographic operations (OTBN), hardware accelerators for multiple cryptographic algorithms and a variety of peripherals (e.g. 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 turn their specifications into verification collateral that will lead to successful tapeouts

Candidate Requirements

Essential:

  • 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 tape out
  • Confident in providing work estimates and coordinating work with a project manager
  • Comfortable working with engineers across multiple organisations in multidisciplinary teams
  • Familiarity with Git and code review using services such as GitHub
  • Programming using C and/or Python in tests and automation
  • Undergraduate degree in a technical discipline or equivalent experience

Desirable:

  • 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
  • Formal verification with tools such as Jasper
  • Experience with silicon bring-up, silicon debugging, and post-silicon validation
  • Experience with leading a team or being a leading technical contributor

Salary and Benefits:

Competitive salary within the range of £68,000-£88,000

lowRISC offers a generous benefits package including:

  • 25 days annual leave plus 8 bank holidays
  • 12.5% employer's pension contribution (subject to employee salary sacrifice of 6%)
  • 4 weeks paid sabbatical after 4 years service
  • Private Medical Insurance, Group Income Protection Insurance, Critical Illness Insurance, Life Insurance
  • The opportunity to attend appropriate Industry conferences and/or training

We are open to discussions about hybrid working after an initial probationary period.

We are an equal opportunities employer and encourage applications from eligible and suitably qualified candidates regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender reassignment, religion or belief, sexual orientation, marital or civil partnership status, or pregnancy and maternity/paternity.
