Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Austin, TX

Define end-to-end formal verification strategies for complex SoCs and IP subsystems. Identify high-risk architectural issues, develop formal methodologies, manage abstractions, drive proof convergence, and improve implementations for correct-by-construction designs. Lead verification across large hardware systems, including CPU microarchitecture, communication fabrics, and protocols, using formal methods and simulation co-verification.

Analyzes and optimizes SiFive IP power consumption across architecture, logic, circuit, RTL, and silicon levels. The role develops power models, correlates them with RTL and silicon results, guides performance-power tradeoffs for high-performance out-of-order CPUs, and improves power analysis workflows. Candidates need advanced computer architecture education, 5+ years of power benchmarking and ASIC optimization experience, and strong problem-solving skills.

Own verification planning, execution, debugging, coverage closure, and methodology for high-performance out-of-order RISC-V CPU core components. Develop SystemVerilog and UVM environments, assertions, scoreboards, stimulus, and coverage models. Partner with architecture and RTL teams to identify risks, resolve microarchitectural issues, and achieve signoff quality across frontend, midcore, load-store, execution, vector, and hardware prefetch units. Mentor engineers and improve verification infrastructure and practices across future CPU generations.

Own functional verification for high-performance out-of-order RISC-V CPU core units from block level through core integration. Develop test plans, UVM environments, testbenches, checkers, scoreboards, assertions, constrained-random tests, and coverage models. Debug failures, identify RTL and verification issues, close coverage gaps, and collaborate with architecture, design, performance, and software teams. Contribute reusable verification infrastructure and methodology for future CPU generations.
