About OLIX
At OLIX, we are at the forefront of revolutionizing the semiconductor industry. As AI technology rapidly evolves, the demand for advanced infrastructure grows, creating significant opportunities for innovation. Traditional hardware designs are becoming obsolete, and OLIX is leading the charge with our groundbreaking Optical Tensor Processing Unit (OTPU) that delivers unmatched performance and energy efficiency. Join us in shaping the future of AI hardware.
The Role
We are on the lookout for exceptional Senior/Staff Digital Verification Engineers who possess extensive expertise in CMOS digital design and verification. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring the functional accuracy of high-speed, real-time data processing silicon—from initial algorithm modeling to verified RTL, sign-off, and silicon bring-up.
As part of a dynamic, multidisciplinary team, you will contribute to the creation of innovative OTPUs where the digital, optical, and mixed-signal domains converge. We seek candidates who are passionate about developing high-performance systems that power the next generation of AI technology.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the comprehensive verification of high-throughput digital pipelines that support multi-GSPS input rates and continuous streaming data paths.
- Design and implement robust verification environments using SystemVerilog/UVM, focusing on constrained-random testing, coverage closure, and regression automation.
- Establish and execute assertion-based verification strategies for control logic, data-path correctness, CDC/RDC, and protocol compliance.
- Utilize formal verification methods (property checking, assertions, equivalence checking) to enhance simulation-based verification and expedite bug detection.
- Model and validate algorithms with MATLAB/Simulink or Python to ensure functional equivalence from algorithmic models to RTL and gate-level sign-off.
- Assist with FPGA prototyping and silicon bring-up by crafting targeted test cases, debugging strategies, and post-silicon validation plans.
- Collaborate effectively with digital design, optical hardware, mixed-signal, and software teams to guarantee seamless integration and performance.
