Staff Engineer, Design Verification

AMBIQ MICRO SINGAPORE PRIVATE LTD.; Singapore; In loco; SGD 150.000 - 190.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Ambiq is seeking an experienced hardware verification engineer to verify digital and mixed-signal designs, including SoCs with multiple CPUs, DSPs, security hardware, and IoT-focused logic. You will own DV tasks, develop block- and chip-level test plans, and run full-chip and module verification in a fast-moving environment.

Required are 7–10+ years in verification, strong SystemVerilog (UVM), C/C++, and experience with ARM/RISC-V, AMBA protocols, and low-power CPF/UPF techniques.

Competenze

• Degree in electrical engineering or related field with strong verification background.
• Extensive experience in block, sub-system and full-chip verification.
• Proficient in SystemVerilog/UVM and C/C++

Mansioni

• Take ownership of DV tasks and deliver high-quality results.
• Develop test plans at block, sub-system and chip levels.
• Perform SoC-based verification at full-chip and module levels.
• Work with ARM or RISC-V MCU designs and low-power verification.
• Apply CPF/UPF power-aware techniques in verification.
• Create C-based libraries and tests for verification.
• Build scalable test benches using SystemVerilog and UVM.
• Develop comprehensive test cases, stimuli, and checkers for high coverage.
• Automate test environments for randomized testing and scoreboarding.
• Use advanced debugging to fix design and verification issues.
• Do root-cause analysis with design teams to fix issues.
• Track functional and coverage metrics to ensure quality.
• Ensure verification meets project standards; edge AI is preferred.

Company Overview

Ambiq is on a mission to enable intelligence everywhere - powering the AI edge revolution with the world's lowest-power semiconductor solutions.

Built on our proprietary sub- and near-threshold technology, our chips deliver multi-fold improvements in energy efficiency without costly process scaling. Since 2010, we've shipped over 300 million units to customers building smarter wearables, medical devices, IoT products, and AI-powered edge applications.

Our cross-functional teams span design, research, development, production, marketing, sales, and operations across Austin, Hsinchu, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Singapore. We move fast, tackle hard problems, and create space for people to grow through complex, meaningful work that shapes the future of technology.

We're looking for self-motivated, creative problem-solvers who are eager to push technological limits and make a real impact in energy efficiency.

At Ambiq, we live by five values: Innovate. Collaborate. Focus. Learn. Achieve.

If that's you, join us - the intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.
