Digital Verification Engineer

Efficient is looking for a Digital Verification (DV) Engineer who wants to influence the next computing revolution.  We are seeking an engineer with industry experience to help us in our  verification efforts for our first-generation product. The DV Engineer will work on verifying Efficient’s proprietary Fabric technology by writing UVM testbenches, gathering and analyzing coverage reports, and contributing to the execution of the test plan. They will help shape our internal processes for building robust and verified designs, especially as the company scales up to higher-performance product lines.

This is a unique opportunity to get in at the ground level and have an influence on our products and processes as we move from the initial stages of product development to market release and scaled volume production.  Join our team and help us shape the future of computing at the edge and beyond!

Key Responsibilities 

• Write modular UVM testbenches and tests  to verify various design components.
• Use a constraint-random test methodology to effectively stimulate a device-under-test to increase coverage and find bugs.
• Write SystemVerilog assertions to check design invariants.
• Add cover points/groups to refine code coverage metrics.
• Collaborate with the digital design team to identify and fix bugs and coverage gaps.
• Support running gate-level simulations as part of design signoff.
• Support third-party vendor engineers when questions arise.
• Assist in building a verification dashboard to quickly understand where a design is in the verification process and to identify regressions.
• Assist in developing internal processes and frameworks to improve code quality, coverage, and correctness.

Required Qualifications & Experience 

• Minimum 2+ years of experience in design verification.
• Experience writing and maintaining System Verilog test benches and test components
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related field is required; Master’s degree or PhD is a plus.
• Experience writing custom and reusable verification infrastructure components (e.g. drivers, monitors, agents, and models).
• Well-versed in coverage-driven, constrained random verification, including coverage analysis and coverage closure.
• Ability to analyze performance and correctness regressions to determine their root cause.
• Experience with script development for work automation, preferably experience with Python.
• Knowledge of UVM/OVM or equivalent portable verification methodologies, as well as IEEE-1801 (UPF) simulation flows  is a plus
• Preferred: knowledge of computer architecture, processor design and implementation, hardware and software engineering, and software development toolchains.

Efficient offers a competitive compensation and benefits package, including 401K match, company-paid benefits, equity program, paid parental leave, flexibility, and more!  We are committed to personal and professional development and strive to grow together as people and as a company.
