Senior Verification Architect - AI-Driven SoC & DSP

ApTask; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 130,000 - 200,000; Full time

Job summary

ApTask is seeking a Senior Verification Engineer for the ASIC & Networking team to support TeraWave's first in-house silicon program, including a high-throughput modem and a DSP-intensive beamformer, with tapeout targeted for 2027.

You will define verification strategy, methodology, and infrastructure, working across IP, subsystem, and SoC levels while mentoring junior engineers and adopting AI-assisted stimulus, regression triage, and coverage analytics to ensure robust verification closure.

Responsibilities

• Own verification planning and execution for complex blocks and subsystems, from test plan through sign-off.
• Translate design specifications into verification strategies, measurable coverage goals, and early identification of high-risk scenarios.
• Select verification methods for each problem, including constrained-random simulation, formal analysis, and directed testing.
• Develop verification environments, reference models, scoreboards, protocol monitors, coverage components, and assertions.
• Drive functional coverage closure, regression health, and sign-off readiness across simulation and formal results.
• Build verification infrastructure, regression and CI systems, and reuse strategy across IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.
• Apply and build AI-assisted verification capabilities for stimulus generation, regression triage, and coverage analytics.
• Review testbench architecture and debug methodology, and mentor junior engineers in verification methodology.
