Digital Verification Engineer

Job Title

Digital Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Work as an ASIC Design Verification Engineer on Neuralink’s System-on-Chip (SoC) Implant Team. The role focuses on verifying digital modules, with emphasis on high-throughput, low-power digital signal processing (DSP) and SoC integration.

Experience Level

Mid-level — minimum 3 years of digital ASIC verification experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include building verification infrastructure, running regressions, and debugging RTL and system issues across design and lab environments.

• Develop SystemVerilog testbenches, verification components, and UVM-based environments.
• Plan and execute functional verification, code-coverage analysis, and regression infrastructure.
• Develop automation and scripting for verification flows (Python, Perl, Makefile, Tcl, UNIX shell).
• Debug RTL, verification failures, and system integration issues; collaborate with architects, RTL designers, and physical design teams.
• Verify SoC-level features including processor cores and bus interfaces; support FPGA/emulation flows.
• Support lab bring-up, diagnostics, and hardware-software debug when required.

Requirements

Must-have versus nice-to-have qualifications observed in the posting.

• Must-have: Minimum 3 years of experience in digital ASIC verification with strong CPU and ASIC design/verification fundamentals.
• Must-have: Excellence in SystemVerilog.
• Must-have: Experience developing automation/scripts (Python, Perl, Makefile, Tcl, UNIX shell).
• Must-have: Experience with code coverage and regression setup.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with UVM, SystemC/C++, formal verification, and functional modeling.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with IEEE-1801 (UPF) low-power flows, low-power gate-level simulation, and power-aware verification.
• Nice-to-have: Knowledge of ARM/RISC-V processors, AMBA buses, FPGA/emulation, and lab system bring-up and debugging.

Education Requirements
