Sr Manager, ASIC Design Verification (ASIC Hardware)

Company Description

Our Mission

At Palo Alto Networks® everything starts and ends with our mission:

Being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life.

Our vision is a world where each day is safer and more secure than the one before. We are a company built on the foundation of challenging and disrupting the way things are done, and we’re looking for innovators who are as committed to shaping the future of cybersecurity as we are.

FLEXWORK is an employee-centric reimagining of how we work. We built FLEXWORK based on employee feedback – it is about flexibility, trust, and choice whenever possible. It’s been a journey of disruption that has yielded the best of our values. We offer as much flexibility as possible, and choices that enable you to be most productive, including benefits that meet your needs and learning opportunities that you feel passionate about.

Job Description

Your Career

As a Senior Manager for ASIC Design Verification, you will lead a world-class team of engineers to ensure that the ASICs in our groundbreaking next-generation firewall products meet or exceed industry-leading requirements for features, performance, and reliability.  You will advise on product definition, architecture, and design.  You will lead in the pre-silicon verification and post-silicon validation phases of the product development cycle.  This includes test planning, testbench development, creating tests, running simulations, debugging, and closing coverage.

We expect office-based employees to be in the office four days per week, with one day working from where they choose. We believe being together facilitates casual conversations and those magic moments where we can work on issues and ideas informally. These moments build capability and deepen trusted relationships and allow our people to feel safe in taking risks and being disruptive. Like so many companies, we are working through the details and things could change …. but in general if a role is deemed office-based we want our teams to be together four days per week.

Your Impact

• Build a diverse, high-performing team by fostering an environment of disruption, collaboration, and inclusion
• Drive a results-oriented culture with a strong focus on quality, velocity, simplicity, and satisfaction
• Collaborate with leaders in product management, architecture, and design to define ASICs optimized across features, performance, cost, and time-to-market
• Lead cross-functional teams to complete all aspects of pre-silicon verification (simulation, emulation, formal) in a timely manner with first-silicon success
• Work closely with stakeholders in hardware engineering and software QA to lead post-silicon validation initiatives that bring the overall system to market on time and with high quality of results
• Lead critical engagements with EDA vendors
• Drive continuous improvements to tools, flows, and methodologies that enhance engineering productivity
