About Celestial AI
With the growth in Generative AI, data center infrastructure it is not just about the
System on Chip
but about the
System of Chips . In the era of Accelerated Computing, data center bottlenecks are no longer limited to compute performance, but rather the system's interconnect bandwidth, memory bandwidth, and memory capacity. Celestial AI's Photonic Fabric is the next-generation interconnect technology offering a10X increase in performance and energy efficiency over competitive technologies.
The Photonic Fabric™ is available to our customers in multiple technology offerings, including optical chiplets, optical interposers, and Optical Multi-chip Interconnect Bridges (OMIB). This enables our customers to seamlessly integrate high bandwidth, low power, low latency optical interfaces into their AI accelerators and GPUs. The technology is fully compatible with both protocol and physical layers, including standard 2.5D packaging flows. This ease of integration enables XPUs to have optical interconnects for compute-to-compute and compute-to-memory fabrics that deliver tens of Tbps bandwidth with nano-second latencies.
This innovation empowers hyperscalers to improve the efficiency and economics of AI processing by optimizing the XPUs needed for training and inference and significantly lowering the TCO2 impact. To support customer engagements, Celestial AI is cultivating a Photonic Fabric ecosystem. These tier-1 partnerships consist of custom silicon/ASIC design, system integrators, HBM memory, assembly, and packaging suppliers.
About the Role
As a growing startup, we're scaling rapidly, and we're looking for a
SoC Design Verification Lead
to drive our SoC verification efforts from pre-silicon simulation all the way through to SoC production.
In this role, you will be responsible for leading verification strategy and execution for a complex SoC. You will work alongside a talented team in a collaborative culture that's already established. As we expand, you'll play a key role in scaling our methodologies, processes, infrastructure to support more projects.
Key ResponsibilitiesLead the verification of a complex 5nm SoC with high-speed interfaces.Collaborate closely with architects, customers, and design engineers to ensure successful product releases.Define and review verification and validation test plans for block-level, IP, and SoC-level projects.Build, manage, and mentor a team of ASIC/SoC verification engineers, including external contractors.Manage critical milestones and deliverables with the ASIC/SoC design team.Shape SoC verification methodologies and processes in partnership with Architecture, Design, and Verification technical leads.Work closely with software and emulation teams to ensure first-pass tapeout success.Qualifications
Bachelor's degree
in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).8+ years
of experience in design verification with strong SystemVerilog expertise.2+ years
of experience with Python for verification.Expertise in UVM library development.Proficiency with simulators like Xcelium, ModelSim, Questa, or VCS.Preferred Qualifications
Master's degree
or higher in Electrical or Computer Engineering with
6+ years
of relevant experience.Experience in AMS verification.
For California location:
As an early startup experiencing explosive growth, we offer an extremely attractive total compensation package, inclusive of competitive base salary and a generous grant of our valuable early-stage equity. The target base salary for this role is approximately $185,000.00 - $220,000.00. The base salary offered may be slightly higher or lower than the target base salary, based on the final scope as determined by the depth of the experience and skills demonstrated by candidate in the interviews.
We offer great benefits (health, vision, dental and life insurance), collaborative and continuous learning work environment, where you will get a chance to work with smart and dedicated people engaged in developing the next generation architecture for high performance computing.
Celestial AI Inc. is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer.
