About the Team and the Project

Our team develops HPE Slingshot, an industry-leading interconnect used in some of the world's largest HPC and AI systems (HPE Slingshot interconnect). As a Design Verification Engineer, you will work alongside experienced architects, logic designers, and verification engineers on the switch and NIC ASICs for a future generation of Slingshot. You will own the verification of blocks from test plan through sign-off, grow your technical depth with support from senior engineers, and help put emerging agentic AI workflows to work on complex engineering problems.

We are looking for engineers who want to work at the leading edge of high-performance interconnects for HPC and AI, who take ownership of their work, and who want to grow beyond a narrowly defined test-writing role.

Job Description

In this role you will be responsible for all phases of pre-silicon design verification, including design verification methodology, test-plan development, testbench development, coverage closure, and sign-off reviews.

Responsibilities

• Follow and improve the team's design verification methodology.
• Develop SystemVerilog and UVM testbench components, including bus functional models that drive and monitor stimulus.
• Plan and implement block level scoreboards and checkers to verify functional behavior.
• Write and analyze functional coverage to find verification gaps and drive coverage closure.
• Triage regression failures and identify logic bugs, while driving bug closure.
• Apply scripting, automation, and AI-assisted and agentic tools to improve the speed and quality of the verification process.
• Work with designers, architects, and project leads on design status, verification progress, and issue resolution.
• Work independently as a member of a project team that includes other VLSI engineers and internal and outsourced development partners.
• Provide guidance and mentoring to less experienced staff members.

Education and Experience Required

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent.
• 5+ years of experience in VLSI design, verification, or implementation.

Knowledge and Skills

• Strong knowledge of SystemVerilog and of OVM or UVM methodologies.
• Strong knowledge of programming and scripting languages, hardware description languages, and electronic design automation (EDA) tools.
• Strong analytical and problem solving skills.
• Ability to be self-directed in a distributed team environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; mastery in English.

Preferred Skills

• Experience verifying high-speed networking, switching, or NIC ASICs.
• Experience with agentic AI coding tools and workflows applied to verification.
• Experience with Python, Perl, Tcl, or another scripting language in Linux development environments.
• Experience working as part of a geographically distributed team.
