Sr Design Verification Engineer (Boston)

Sr. Design Verification Engineer

Lightmatter builds chips for artificial intelligence computing. Our architecture leverages unique properties of light to enable fast and efficient inference and training engines. If you're a collaborative engineer or scientist who has a passion for innovation, solving challenging technical problems and doing impactful work...work like building the world's first optical computers, consider joining the team at Lightmatter!

In this role, you will be responsible for helping to define and implement the DV methodology on our integrated photonics SoCs. You’ll work with designers and architecture engineers to understand the design specification and develop a test plan. You'll work to root cause bugs across digital, analog, and photonics domains using a mixture of traditional and to-be-invented design verification techniques.

Responsibilities

• Define and enhance the DV methodologies required for integrated digital/analog/photonics devices, with a strong emphasis on emulation for design verification
• Create and execute test plans to ensure high-quality tapeouts that meet functional and performance goals, leveraging emulation where appropriate
• Work with architects, DV engineers, designers, and machine-learning scientists to define validation flows
• Create reusable and scalable test bench components that enable efficient and effective verification
• Close coverage and finish all DV signoff requirements, with a focus on leveraging emulation to achieve high coverage metrics
• Work on block level and full chip design verification
• Integrate analogue design IPs from vendors and internal teams and develop verification environments for simulation and emulation
• Work with analog design engineers to create behavioral models for analog designs and with digital design engineers to integrate models/testcase/checkers into upper levels

Requirements

• BS or higher in electrical or computer engineering (or other related fields)
• 8+ years of experience in the industry
• Experience in advanced DV techniques and languages including UVM
• Experience with emulation for design verification, including experience with tools such as Cadence Palladium
• Fluency in English, both written and verbal
• Ability to work with diverse teams of engineers and scientists
• Experience with creating UVM/SV based testbenches for Analog Mixed-Signal application

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Scripting Languages (perl or python)

Benefits

• Comprehensive Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• 401k matching
• Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
• Generous Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
