Flight Software Engineer - Space

Full-Stack Developer- Software Engineer

Distinguished Engineer - AI & Data Science

Senior Applied Scientist - Computer Vision

As a Design Verification (DV) Engineer, you will be part of an advanced architecture team that is exploring new hardware designs to improve our devices. In this role, you will be responsible for defining the verification methodology and implementing the corresponding test plan for advanced functional blocks. You will participate in the design verification and bring-up of such blocks by writing relevant assertions, debugging code, test benches, test harnesses, and otherwise interacting with the extended team.


You will work closely with multi-disciplinary groups including Product Design, Audio Technology, Computer Vision, Hardware Engineering, and Software Engineering, to architect and implement complex functional blocks that enable the development of world-class hardware devices. In this role, you will:

  1. Design world-class hardware and software
  2. Communicate and work with team members across multiple disciplines
  3. Deliver detailed test plans for verification of complex digital design blocks by working with design engineers and architects
  4. Create and enhance constrained-random verification environments using SystemVerilog and UVM
  5. Identify and write all types of coverage measures for stimulus and corner-cases
  6. Debug tests with design engineers to deliver functionally correct design blocks
  7. Close coverage measures to identify verification holes and to show progress towards tape-out
  8. Participate in test plan and coverage reviews
  9. Integrate 3rd party IPs/VIPs and transactors
  10. Perform IP/SOC bring-up in simulation, emulation, and prototyping environments


The ideal candidate should have experience with RTL development environments, fluency in modern hardware description languages and verification methodologies. They should have experience verifying complex IP blocks from scratch that have successfully been integrated in SOCs or other such silicon that have been productized in consumer devices. We are looking for a self-driven individual who can work with architects, HW and SW developers and can quickly resolve blocking issues.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor’s degree or higher in EE, CE, or CS
7+ years or more of practical semiconductor design verification including System Verilog, UVM, assertions and coverage driven verification.
Experience using multiple verification platforms: simulation, emulation or prototyping environments.
Experience defining verification methodologies
Experience with test plan development, test bench infrastructure, developing tests and verifying the design
Experience with writing directed/constrained-random tests
Experience identifying bugs in architecture, functionality and performance with strong overall debug skills
Experience verifying at multiple levels of logic from IP to SoC
Experience with industry standard tools and scripting languages (Python or Perl) for automation
Excellent verbal and written communication skills

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
Experience with boot-up and bare metal flows for CPU cores
Experience with PCIE
Experience debugging system-level issues
Strong programming skills in C and scripting skills in Python and/or Perl
Experience with high performance industry standard IO interfaces like AMBA AXI4, USB, MIPI etc.
Experience with formal verification
Experience with transactors
Experience with transaction level modeling
Knowledge of FPGA and emulation platforms
Knowledge of SoC architecture

AI Jobs in the Public Sector: MOD, NHS & Gov Digital Service Opportunities

Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved from a niche field of computer science into a transformative force reshaping industries across the globe. From healthcare to finance and from education to defence, AI-driven tools and techniques are revolutionising how we approach problems, improve efficiency, and make data-driven decisions. Nowhere is this transformation more apparent than in the United Kingdom’s public sector. Key government entities, including the Ministry of Defence (MOD), the National Health Service (NHS), and the Government Digital Service (GDS), are increasingly incorporating AI into their operations. Consequently, AI jobs within these bodies are growing both in number and strategic importance. In this comprehensive blog post, we will explore the landscape of AI jobs across the UK public sector, with a close look at the MOD, the NHS, and the Government Digital Service. We will delve into the reasons these organisations are investing heavily in AI, the types of roles available, the essential skills and qualifications required, as well as the salary ranges one might expect. Whether you are a new graduate keen to make a meaningful impact through your technical skills or a seasoned professional looking for your next career move, the public sector offers a wealth of opportunities in AI. By the end of this article, you will have a clearer understanding of why AI is so crucial to the public sector’s success, which roles are in demand, and how you can tailor your application to stand out in a competitive and rewarding job market.

Contract vs Permanent AI Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

n the ever-evolving world of technology, the competition for top talent in artificial intelligence (AI) is intense—and the rewards are significant. By 2025, AI roles in machine learning, natural language processing, data science, and robotics are expected to be among the highest-paid professions within the UK technology sector. As an AI professional, deciding between contracting (either as a day‑rate contractor or via fixed-term contracts) and permanent employment could drastically impact your take‑home pay, job security, and career trajectory. In this article, we will delve into the various types of AI roles in 2025—particularly focusing on day‑rate contracting, fixed-term contract (FTC) roles, and permanent positions. We will compare the earning potential across these three employment types, discuss the key pros and cons, and provide practical examples of how your annual take‑home pay might differ under each scenario. Whether you are already working in AI or looking to break into this booming field, understanding these employment options will help you make an informed decision on your next move.

AI Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Your Seat at the AI Table Artificial Intelligence (AI) has left the lab and entered boardrooms, high‑street banks, hospitals and marketing agencies across the United Kingdom. Yet a stubborn myth lingers: “AI careers are only for coders and PhDs.” If you can’t write TensorFlow, surely you have no place in the conversation—right? Wrong. According to PwC’s UK AI Jobs Barometer 2024, vacancies mentioning AI rose 61 % year‑on‑year, but only 35 % of those adverts required advanced programming skills (pwc.co.uk). The Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) likewise reports that Britain’s fastest‑growing AI employers are “actively recruiting non‑technical talent to scale responsibly” (gov.uk). Put simply, the nation needs communicators, strategists, ethicists, marketers and project leaders every bit as urgently as it needs machine‑learning engineers. This 2,500‑word guide shows where you fit in—and how to land an AI role without touching a line of Python.
