Design Verification Engineer - Internal IP

About Etched Etched is building hardware for frontier intelligence. We co-design chips, racks, software, and manufacturing to deliver best-in-class throughput and latency across both prefill and decode workloads. Our first products are heavily focused on inference. Backed by hundreds of millions from top-tier investors and staffed by leading engineers, Etched is redefining the infrastructure layer for the fastest growing industry in history. Job Summary We are seeking a Design Verification Engineer to join our Internal IP DV team. You will ensure the custom IPs powering our chips — including systolic arrays, DMA engines, and NoCs — are robust, high-performance, and silicon-ready. This role demands creativity, deep technical ability, and the drive to tackle complex verification challenges. You will collaborate with architects, RTL designers, and SW/FW/emulation teams to validate correctness and performance across the full hardware-software stack. Key responsibilities - Develop and maintain UVM/SystemVerilog testbenches for high-performance IPs (compute arrays, DMAs, NoCs, memory subsystems). - Define and execute verification plans covering functional correctness, corner cases, concurrency, and performance bottlenecks. - Debug complex datapath and protocol issues in RTL and testbench environments. - Work closely with architects and designers to validate functionality and design intent. - Partner with SW, FW, and emulation teams to ensure end-to-end bring-up and debug coverage. - Contribute to reusable DV infrastructure, coverage models, and methodology improvements.
