We are hiring a Head of Design Verification – Interface IP to own and scale verification for all major interface IP subsystems across Etched silicon. This is a hands-on technical leadership role: you will manage a small team while personally owning DV strategy, execution, and tape-out sign-off for critical subsystems including CPU subsystems, HBM memory controllers, PCIe, Ethernet, and system peripherals. You will lead Interface IP DV from architecture definition through tape-out, working closely with RTL designers, IP vendors, SoC and performance DV, software, and architecture teams. You will set standards, define best practices, and ensure verification quality scales with increasingly ambitious chips.
Job Responsibility:
Own end-to-end DV strategy and sign-off for Interface IP across Etched SoCs
Act as the technical authority on correctness, protocol compliance, performance, and robustness
Lead DV for CPU subsystems (boot, interrupts, coherency, system control)
Lead DV for high-speed interfaces, including throughput and latency verification
Architect and evolve SystemVerilog/UVM verification environments
Drive vendor IP integration, configuration reviews, and verification gap closure
Partner closely with architecture, RTL, SoC DV, and software teams
Hire, mentor, and lead a small, high-impact Interface IP DV team
Advise the strategy and execution of emulation testing for pre-silicon validation
Requirements:
10+ years of design verification experience with ownership of complex IP or SoC subsystems
Deep hands-on expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM
Strong understanding of SoC mCPU design and high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, AXI/AMBA)
Tape-out experience with final DV sign-off responsibility
Systems-level DV mindset
Comfortable being hands-on in a fast-moving startup environment
Nice to have:
Experience leading DV teams at Apple, NVIDIA, Broadcom, AMD, or similar
Vendor IP evaluation and integration experience
Exposure to formal verification, emulation, or silicon bring-up
Power-aware or low-power interface verification
