Senior Machine Learning Engineer

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

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
