Job description

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service deliveryassociated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

We areseekinga highly skilled and experiencedVerificationEngineer to join our engineering team. In this role, you willbe responsible fordesigning, simulating, and verifying high-performancedigital,analogand RF integrated circuits for applications such as 5G, IoT, and satellite communications. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements, develop innovative design solutions, and ensure that products meet the highest standards of quality and performance.

What you will be doing:

• Verify complex digital designs across custom IP blocks, subsystems, and full-chip SoC levels
• Translate architecture and micro-architecture specifications into executable verification plans
• Design, develop, andmaintainscalable UVM-based verification environments
• Develop high-quality testbenches usingSystemVerilogand support VHDL and mixed-language environments
• Drive functional and code coverage, analyze results, and close coverage gaps
• Debug complex issues using simulation, waveform analysis, assertions, and root-cause analysis
• Collaborate closely with architects, RTL designers, and system teams
• Document verification plans, methodologies, and results, and provide clear status updates to leadership

What you bring to this role:

• Minimum of 5-10 years of experience in ASIC verificationfor complex digital systems

• Hands-on experience with UVM-based verification methodologies
• Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals
• Experience verifying industry-standard protocols
• Strong debugging skills using simulation tools and waveform analysis
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams

Bonus points for the following:

• Advanced assertion-based verification or formal intent
• Exposure to gate-level simulation, formal verification, emulation, or FPGA prototyping
• Experience scaling or owning verification infrastructure for large or multi-project SoCs
• Experience in verifying complex SoCsintegrating CPUs, DSPs, and mixed-signal blocks

Additional Requirements

This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment - flexibility to occasionally work extended hours or weekends during critical periods is expected.

This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office. The target base pay for this position is $140,000 - $200,000 annually. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.

E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.
