Pre-Silicon Validation (AI/ML)

Salary: £45,000 - 80,000 per year

Requirements:

• Meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to high-quality verification that minimizes bug escapes.
• Demonstrated experience specifying, creating, and debugging system test environments; authoring test cases; tracking results; and troubleshooting simulation or emulation mismatches and test failures.
• Hands-on experience with emulation platforms such as ZeBu, Palladium, or Strato.
• Familiarity with RTL languages such as SystemVerilog or Verilog.
• Experience collaborating with EDA vendors to introduce capabilities, resolve tool issues, and contribute to future tool improvements.
• Ability to plan system test tasks and produce realistic effort and time estimates.
• Additional qualities that may strengthen your application include experience with requirements definition and management; familiarity with UVM-based verification environments; experience with CI platforms and version control tools such as Git; scripting proficiency in Python or Perl; experience testing embedded-device software; practical knowledge of machine learning and neural networks; and understanding of efficiency tuning and performance analysis for large-scale emulation systems.

Responsibilities:

• Design and build test automation, develop and run test cases, and work with modern tools and infrastructure.
• Help develop and deploy advanced emulation environments for neural accelerators.
• Support system validation, help bridge silicon development and real-world deployment, and contribute to reducing time to market.
• Collaborate with architecture, design, verification, and software engineers to optimize emulation workflows and use cases.
• Support design bring-up, debugging, feature validation, and system validation.
• Influence verification strategy and methodology, take ownership of complex work packages, and drive them to successful completion.
