Job summary

Atom Computing, Inc. seeks a Principal ASIC Verification Engineer to lead functional verification of ASICs for our quantum computer. You will guide test-plan execution, develop testbenches, and drive timing-accurate verification across RTL, DFT, and silicon bring-up.

Qualifications include 10+ years in ASIC/SoC verification, strong Python and SystemVerilog/UVM skills, and experience with tapeout-driven verification. Austin, TX on-site role with competitive compensation and benefits.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical or computer engineering or related field.
• 10+ years ASIC/SoC verification experience.
• Experience verifying multiple ASICs through tapeout and silicon evaluation; applying findings to improve verification.
• Strong Python skills for reusable, object-oriented testbenches with constrained-random stimulus, checkers and coverage.

Responsibilities

• Own block-to-chip verification plans, schedules, and signoff criteria; lead test development and execution.
• Provide technical direction, mentor engineers, review test plans and code, and participate in candidate interviews.
• Define contractor scope, milestones, and acceptance criteria; review deliverables and oversee integration and handoff.
• Develop Python testbenches, reusable drivers, monitors, reference models, and scoreboards integrated with RTL simulators.
• Implement tests, automate regressions, debug failures, and close coverage; communicate verification status, unresolved defects, and tapeout risks.
• Lead post-layout gate-level verification, including netlist preparation, SDF annotation, and timing-accurate simulation.
• Verify test modes and patterns with DFT, design, and physical design teams; resolve timing and signoff issues.
• Resolve requirements and interface issues with architecture, RTL, firmware, and hardware teams; support silicon bring-up and validation.
