TL;DR · Lead ASIC Verification Engineer

The Lead ASIC Verification Engineer joins a cross-functional team at Idaho Scientific to support the Bitttercloud II program. This role involves designing and architecting advanced embedded security technologies to protect U.S. defense systems from cyber exploitation, physical attacks, and supply chain compromise. The engineer leads ASIC verification at the block, subsystem, and full-chip levels, developing verification plans, schedules, and coverage goals. Daily tasks include building reusable SystemVerilog and UVM test environments, executing simulations, formal verification, and emulation activities, and performing root-cause analysis on failures. Required skills include proficiency in SystemVerilog, UVM, assertions, and scripting languages like Perl, Tcl, Bash, and Python. The role utilizes tools such as VCS, Verdi, and Questa to verify secure processors, anti-tamper architectures, and cryptographic IP for government cybersecurity requirements.

What you'll do

  • Lead ASIC verification at the block, subsystem, and full-chip levels.
  • Develop verification plans, schedules, coverage goals, and completion criteria.
  • Build reusable SystemVerilog/UVM test environments and verification components.
  • Plan and execute simulation, regression, formal verification, and emulation activities.
  • Lead failure investigation, root-cause analysis, and corrective-action verification.
  • Verify third-party and custom IP for functional and integration compliance.
  • Provide technical direction and mentoring to verification engineers.
  • Improve verification processes, automation, metrics, and reusable assets.

What we're looking for

  • U.S. citizenship is required.
  • Department of Defense Secret security clearance is required at time of hire.
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or a related field, plus 10 years of relevant experience.
  • Master's degree plus a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience.
  • Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog, UVM, assertions, coverage, and regression testing.
  • Experience with scripting languages such as Perl, Tcl, Bash, and Python.
  • Experience with ASIC simulation and debug tools such as VCS, Verdi, Questa, or equivalent tools.
  • Experience with formal verification, CDC/RDC analysis, or low-power verification (preferred).
