We are looking for a Design Verification Engineer to support gate-level simulation (GLS) and hardware emulation activities for our AI chip design and verification teams. This is a hands-on role requiring close collaboration with RTL design, DFT, physical design, and firmware teams. Set up, run, and debug gate-level simulations (GLS) for functional, timing (SDF back-annotated), and low-power verification across multiple design blocks and full-chip levels. Support hardware emulation platforms Siemens Veloce including design compilation, bring-up, debug, and regression management. Work with physical design and STA teams to resolve SDF annotation, timing exceptions, and back-annotated simulation discrepancies. Bring up emulation models for pre-silicon software/firmware validation and performance profiling. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering,



Computer Engineering, or related field. ~3+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC design verification, with direct exposure to gate-level simulation. ~ Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals: clocking, reset strategies, low-power design (UPF/CPF), and STA concepts ~ Scripting skills in Perl, Python, or TCL for flow automation and debug. ~ Familiarity with version control (Git/Perforce) and job scheduling systems (LSF/Grid). ~ Experience bringing up firmware or software on emulation platforms. Knowledge of physical design flows and their interaction with timing closure 4 days per week in the Barcelona office (city center), 1 day WFH. ~
