Design Verification Engineer - Compute

What MatX is Building

MatX's mission is to make the world’s best AI models run as efficiently as allowed by physics, bringing the world years ahead in AI quality and availability.

What Compute Means The compute subsystem implements all of the core numerics and the associated control and data paths required to realize meaningful hardware acceleration of our target ML workloads.

What You’ll Do Here Contribute to MatX's compute subsystem verification methodology with a scalable solution across blocks, subsystems, fullchip, and system-level validation

Own portions of verification execution at the subsystem level / blocks within the subsystem, and create test benches, tests, and related artifacts to achieve structural and functional coverage closure

Qualify one or more pieces of the software stack on the subsystem

Plan and drive intermediate and sign-off reviews on verification test plans, execution progress, and verification closure toward various silicon milestones including design freeze and tapeout

Who You Are At least 5 years of silicon design-verification experience

End-to-end, concept-to-silicon tapeout experience — has driven verification from an architecture and/or design specification through design freeze and tapeout to production silicon

Production experience with conventional/advanced verification methodologies — System Verilog and UVM, assertion-based verification (ABV); comfort with both formal and simulated verification

Experience with Python, C/C++, and similar scripting and programming languages for verification and silicon modeling

Production experience creating portable tests and drivers that apply to silicon validation and post-silicon debug

Strong understanding of silicon micro-architecture and design concepts used in high-performance compute (CPUs, GPUs, accelerators), memory management, and related functionalities

Bonus Points If You Have Numerics knowledge (floating-point / fixed-point arithmetic, rounding, precision)
Prior work on accelerators, DMA engines, or systolic operations / systolic arrays

Rust, or a functional-programming background — Haskell, or functionally-rooted HDLs such as Bluespec Familiarity with emulation and prototyping platforms and methodologies

Hands-on experience with silicon debug and bring-up Compensation

The US base salary for this full-time position is determined based on a variety of factors including role, experience, location, job-related skills, and relevant education and training. Career length is only a guideline for compensation.
