Job Description & How to Apply Below
Location: Zürich

Own the design and verification of part of our digital IP portfolio that wraps and integrates our compute-in-memory technology(Compute

RAM®): clean, synthesis-ready System Verilog RTL, plus UVM environments that reach coverage closure and de-risk silicon. You’ll specify and build register/bus interfaces, DMA, and control logic. Expect tight collaboration with custom design, backend, and software teams to hit PPA, coverage, and time-to-tapeout simultaneously.

What you’ll do
  • Implement RTL: memory-mapped control blocks, AXI/AHB/APB bridges, FIFOs/scoreboards, arbiters, DMA, and datapaths; write synthesis-friendly code with a clear reset/CDC strategy.
  • Extreme optimization for power, with a power-driven mindset and approach to design
  • Develop UVM test benches (agents, sequencers, predictors, scoreboards); drive constrained-random + directed testing; close coverage (func/code/assertion).
  • GLS: run gate-level sims with SDF for critical paths; support FPGA prototypes for early HW/SW bring-up.
  • Documentation & specs: write IP/user guides, register maps, programming models; contribute reusable UVM components and regression infrastructure for the team.
Outcomes (first 18 months)
  • Tape-in of one or more IPs (or a subsystem) with coverage goals met (functional/code/assertion) and lint/CDC/RDC clean sign-off packages.
  • Demonstrated GLS/SDF pass on the IP’s top-risk paths and correlation to FPGA results;
    Achieve sign-off quality.
  • A reusable UVM kit (agents/sequences/scoreboards) and CI scripts that cut regression time and raise pass-rate stability across projects.
Requirements
  • 5+ years in digital design or verification for ASIC; strong System Verilog RTL and basic understanding of UVM
  • Hands-on experience with either RISC-V or ARM architectures, either as a system-level integrator or as a designer.
  • Knowledge of synthesis basics and how RTL choices impact timing/power/area
  • Clear technical communication, ability to work with structured specs, and habit of turning one-off designs into reusable components.
Nice to have
  • Experience verifying memory-adjacent IP (SRAM controllers/periphery, MBIST/scan integration) and power-aware/UPF simulation flows.
  • GLS proficiency (SDF back-annotation), familiarity with FPGA bring-up and HW/SW test harnesses.
  • Python/Tcl for stimulus generation, log parsing, coverage triage
  • Background in AI/DSP accelerators or quantized dataflows (helpful context for CxR use-cases).
Apply

Send your CV and a short note (2–3 paragraphs on a design you owned, your toughest bug & how you solved it, an intro on what you like to do and how you see yourself as an engineer)

Interview flow (indicative)
  • 30-min intro with HR (role/context)
  • Second Technical Deep Dive
  • (Optional) Third Technical Deep Dive
  • Systems/product conversation with management
