Design Verification Engineer (US)

Design Verification Engineer

Lightmatter is a pioneer in the development of artificial intelligence computing. Our groundbreaking architecture exploits the extraordinary capabilities of light to power fast, efficient inference and training engines. This is your invitation to be part of a trailblazing team as we embark on building the world's first optical computers! We seek collaborative engineers and scientists who are driven by innovation, want to solve complex technical problems, and aspire to make a significant impact through their work.

As a Design Verification Engineer at Lightmatter, you will find yourself at the heart of a dynamic, interdisciplinary team. Your role will primarily involve close collaboration with our digital design experts, where you will utilize UVM testbench techniques to rigorously verify their designs. Your responsibilities will include working alongside photonic and analog designers, gaining a deep understanding of their innovative designs, and applying Real Number Modeling (RNM) and AMS verification methods. This critical function ensures the integrity of their work.

Your interaction with the Architecture team will be crucial in comprehending system requirements and spearheading performance verification. This role offers a unique platform to enhance your skills across a spectrum of areas including UVM, AMS modeling, mixed-signal verification, formal verification, emulation, and both performance modeling and verification.

Responsibilities

• Engage collaboratively with teams specializing in digital, photonics, and analog design to develop comprehensive test plans.
• Design and implement UVM testbenches for both subsystem-level and full-chip verification. This includes debugging testbenches, resolving issues, achieving high coverage, and overseeing the final sign-off on Design Verification (DV).
• Develop Real Number Models (RNM) for photonics and analog circuits, conduct AMS verification in conjunction with UVM, and ensure precise model representation. Contribute significantly to the development of the Golden Reference Model (GRM) for design verification. Play an integral role in the execution of emulation and formal verification for DV purposes.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical or Computer Engineering or a related field
• Minimum of 3 years of relevant experience
• 2+ years of experience in SystemVerilog
• Proficiency in a scripting language, with a preference for Python
• Expertise in developing the UVM library
• Experience with simulators such as Xcelium, ModelSim, Questa, or VCS

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with AMS verification
• Experience in formal verification

Benefits

• Comprehensive Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• 401k matching
• Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
• Generous Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
• Paid Family Leave
• Short Term & Long Term Disability
• Training & Development
• Flexible, hybrid workplace model
