As a Senior Quantum Design Verification Engineer in Microsoft’s Quantum 1st Party Hardware System-on-a-Chip (SoC) team, you will lead the development of verification infrastructure for quantum SoCs, defining pre-silicon simulation and post-silicon validation plans. Your daily tasks include creating test environments, managing databases and bug-tracking systems, collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure design integrity, and driving continuous improvement in verification methodologies. This role requires expertise in verification principles, scripting languages like Python or Perl, and experience with C/C++ for test writing. You will work on complex SoC designs, integrating analog and digital components, and leveraging AI-assisted solutions to enhance productivity. Join a team of leading experts shaping the future of quantum computing by solving intricate design challenges and advancing topological qubit technology.
Define and implement verification plans for both pre-silicon simulation and post-silicon validation of SoC/IP designs.
Set up and manage databases, bug-tracking systems, and coordinate milestone reviews for design verification projects.
Develop testbenches and simulations for digital and analog components in mixed-signal environments.
Collaborate with DFT team to ensure comprehensive testing of design-for-test features.
Align verification methodologies across teams and drive continuous improvement in verification processes.
Create and maintain simulation environments, including scripting and debugging designs using Python or MATLAB.
What we're looking for
6+ years of experience in design verification with complex SoC IPs/systems.
Proven expertise in verification principles, testbenches, and stimulus generation.
Strong background in creating simulation environments and debugging designs.
Solid understanding of chip architecture and Analog/Digital interface verification.
Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Ruby) and C/C++ for writing tests.
Experience with AI-assisted solutions and automation tools like MATLAB/Python.
