Blue Origin Personnel, LLC seeks a Head of ASIC Verification to lead the functional verification of Terawave custom ASICs, including Digital Modem SoC, RF SoC, and analog RF designs. You will drive pre-silicon verification methodologies to ensure first-pass silicon success and software readiness in a collaborative, safety-focused environment.
What You'll Do
- Own the functional verification of Terawave custom ASICs, including Digital Modem SoC, RF SoC (integrating AMS/RF and digital logic), and mostly analog RF designs with small digital components.
- Drive and implement comprehensive, state-of-the-art pre-silicon verification methodologies to ensure first-pass Silicon success and software readiness at tape out.
- Work collaboratively with ASIC front end, ASIC back end, system, and software teams to scope work, define deliverables, and hold a high-quality bar.
- Build, guide, and mentor the verification team for simulation, emulation, and prototyping.
- Set up the EDA tool flow for advanced verification methods within the overall ASIC flow.
- Define a roadmap for technology and methodology improvements across all verification needs of the ASIC organization.
- Support post-silicon debug and bring-up.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- 15+ years of experience developing embedded firmware.
- Solid understanding of SoC components such as CPUs, memory hierarchies, DMA, timers, interrupt control units, and interconnect buses and their verification.
- Experience with emulation and prototyping flow.
- Experience with TLM and UVM flow.
- Experience with UPF flow (power aware verification).
- Experience with Gate level verification.
Nice to Have
- Transaction Level Modelling for system-level verification and analog modelling for RF/AMS verification.
- Experience with digital signal processing custom logic verification.
- Experience in taking high-volume, low CMOS geometry node designs to volume production.
Technical Stack
- TLM
- UVM
- UPF
- EDA tools
