About The Role

We have an exceptional opportunity for a Verification / Senior Verification Engineer to join our talented team of hardware designers and embedded software engineers. Together, you’ll deliver fully verified, high-performance, and trusted systems. In this exciting role you'll have end-to-end visibility across the entire stack, owning every aspect of verification and shaping how quality and reliability are built into our cutting-edge technology.

You do not need a background in quantum computing! You will learn this along the way.

What You Will Do

As a Verification / Senior Verification Engineer at Riverlane, you will: Proactively work with designers and architects to define verification plans based on design specifications. You will take full ownership of detailed test strategies across block-level and system-level designs. Develop and implement scalable testbenches, including checkers, reference models and coverage groups in SystemVerilog.

You will implement self-testing, directed and random tests to ensure every part of the system performs flawlessly. Maintain the health and evolution of the design verification environment, tracking of regressions, coverage metrics and bugs to ensure our systems meet the highest standards of quality and reliability. What we need Demonstrable commercial experience in functional verification, including ownership of verification planning and strategy.

Proven experience of testbench design with verification frameworks like UVM/OVM. Knowledge of SystemVerilog assertion (SVA). Exposure to different programming languages, such as C, C++ and Python.

A proactive person who can independently define the scope of work. A collaborative person with excellent communication skills, who actively shares (and listens to) constructive feedback.

Requirements

Experience debugging across RTL, simulation, and hardware Even better if… Formal verification experience.
