I am seeking a Principal Verification Engineer to join a company based in Cambridge where you will be producing high-quality, security-focused, open, and flexible IP. Their expertise includes the LLVM Compiler, novel hardware security extensions and RISC-V tools, hardware and processor design.

This is a great opportunity for a Principal Verification Engineer who wants to be involved across the full verification cycle from initial planning to final tapeout and be part of a business where you will work collaboratively with not only company employees but external partners and Engineers across the globe.

The Principal Verification Engineer will have the opportunity to apply industrial-strength design verification to high quality open-source code bases. You will be working on the verification of the range of open-source designs they are producing. This includes a RISC-V core, a separate special purpose CPU for cryptographic operations, an AES accelerator and a variety of peripherals (such as USB, I2C and SPI).

Part of the role will be to Design, implement and debug block-level and system-level tests and testbenches using SystemVerilog and UVM.

Being in a small team, you will get the opportunity to be involved in lots of different elements of both Design and Verification work.
