Senior Verification Architect for AI Accelerator SoC

Acceler8 Talent; California; On-site; USD 200,000 - 350,000; Full time

Job summary

Acceler8 Talent in Mountain View, CA is seeking a Senior Design Verification Engineer to own a verification domain for an AI accelerator program, spanning IP to full-chip verification.

You will collaborate with hardware and software teams to define verification plans, build end-to-end strategies and UVM testbenches, and influence tooling and emulation decisions. This senior IC role offers impactful ownership and opportunities to shape next-generation AI compute platforms.

Qualifications

• At least five years of pre-silicon verification experience with ownership of complex IP, subsystems or SoCs from planning through functional closure.
• Strong experience in one or more domains: block/subsystem verification, CPU/IP integration, full-chip verification, emulation, DMA/NoC, or multi-SoC protocols.
• Strong command of UVM methodology and testbench architecture.
• A track record of debugging complex designs and delivering end-to-end verification results.

Responsibilities

• Own a verification domain, from understanding specifications and developing the verification plan through debug and functional closure.
• Develop end-to-end verification strategies spanning IP, SoC-level testing and emulation.
• Build and maintain UVM testbench architecture suited to complex accelerator designs.
• Work closely with hardware and software engineers to understand system behaviour, identify verification gaps and resolve failures.
