Recogni is hiring a
ASIC Verification Engineer

Summary

The job is for an ASIC team member at Recogni, a startup company specializing in AI inferencing solutions. The employee will ensure the pre-silicon correctness of a high-performance, low-power convolutional neural network accelerator ASIC for autonomous driving applications. Responsibilities include working with design engineers, developing verification strategies, implementing tests, and handling bug tracking.

Requirements

• 2+ years of ASIC verification experience
• Knowledge of ARM/MIPS/RISC-V Architecture
• Familiarity with AMBA/APB/AXI Protocol
• Familiarity with processor peripheral interfaces like SPI, eMMC, *MII, GPIO, I2C
• Excellent Verilog/System Verilog programming skills
• Experience with UVM (or similar)
• Deep understanding of object oriented programming principles, constrained random stimulus, and a coverage driven verification approach
• Scripting experience (Python, Perl, TCL, shell programming) highly-desirable
• Interest to explore AI architectures for convolution, transformer and other kinds of workloads
• Self-starter and highly-motivated to work in a dynamic start-up environment
• B.S. (M.S. preferred) degree in Electrical or Computer engineering (or similar field)

Responsibilities

• Ensure the pre-silicon correctness and quality of a multi-million gate ASIC that integrates computational accelerators and 3rd-party SoC IP blocks
• SoC/Subsystem verification of embedded CPUs such as ARM/RISC-V and interconnect subsystem (including C and assembly diag validation)
• Develop the block-level, sub-system and full-chip verification environment and tests to implement test plans
• Work closely with design and architecture teams to understand the functional and performance goals of the design; and work together to make the design-under-test work under all specified circumstances
• Triage and debug functional and performance issues with the design-under-test
• Handle bug tracking and coverage convergence
• Perform diagnostic and post-silicon validation tests in the lab

Benefits

• Competitive benefits package including Medical, Vision, Dental
• Perks including meals, snacks, drinks and us!
• Sharp, motivated co-workers in a fun office environment
• Employee Stock Purchase Plan
• Flexible work hours & generous PTO policy
