ASIC Design Verification Engineer
Waymo
Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the most trusted driver. Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver™—to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo One, a fully autonomous ride-hailing service, and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over one million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving tens of millions of miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 13+ U.S. states.
Waymo's Compute Team is tasked with a critical and exciting mission: We deliver the compute platform responsible for running the fully autonomous vehicle's software stack. To achieve our mission, we architect and create high-performance custom silicon; we develop system-level compute architectures that push the boundaries of performance, power, and latency; and we collaborate closely with many other teammates to ensure we design and optimize hardware and software for maximum performance. We are a multidisciplinary team seeking curious and talented teammates to work on one of the world's highest performance automotive compute platforms.
In this role you'll:
- Work closely with the design team to define specifications and test plans for next-generation chips for our autonomous platform
- Execute on the test plan, including test development, reference model design, and failure debug
- Contribute to the development of overall verification infrastructure and toolsIdentify and integrate third-party verification IP
- Collect and analyze coverage metrics
- Advocate and establish verification best-practices
At the minimum, we'd like you to have:
- 3+ years of experience with using SystemVerilog and UVM to verify ASICs
- Experience with digital architecture and logic
- Advanced verification techniques like constrained random generation, functional coverage, and assertions
It's preferred if you have:
- Experience with the full digital design verification cycle -- from spec through bring-up
- Experience with performance and power validation
- Experience with machine learning and other high performance compute elements
- Experience with C++ and Python for reference model development, automation, and tool development
- Experience with industry standard protocols, interfaces, and IP components, such as AXI, PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, and NoCs
- Familiarity with emulation or virtual prototyping flows
