Direct message the job poster from IC ResourcesHands on Tech Recruiter | Deep-Tech, AI, Semiconductors | Intellectual CapitalJob Title: Design Verification Engineer – Contract | AI HardwareType: Contract (Long-term potential)Overview:We’re working with a fast-moving technology company developing next-generation AI hardware. They’re looking for an experienced Design Verification Engineer to help validate the performance and reliability of their custom chip designs, before they ever hit silicon.This is a hands-on role where you’ll be building out test environments, writing simulation-based tests, and working closely with architects and RTL designers to catch bugs early and ensure the hardware does exactly what it’s supposed to.What you’ll be doing:Creating reusable, scalable simulation test environments for complex digital blocks.Writing tests that model real world scenarios and stress the system from every angle.Working with design and architecture teams to translate specifications into verification plans.Debugging failures, improving coverage, and contributing to overall verification strategy.Helping the team evolve their verification infrastructure, tools, and methodologies.What you’ll bring:Strong experience in digital design verification using SystemVerilog and UVM.Confidence writing and debugging simulation tests for complex IP or SoC-level designs.A thoughtful, detail oriented approach to catching hard-to-spot issues.Bonus if you’ve worked on AI chips, memory subsystems, or interconnects—but not required.Comfort working in Python or C/C++ for scripting and test automation.Why it’s compelling:This is an opportunity to join a team that’s solving real problems in AI hardware, without bureaucracy or rigid structure. You’ll be part of a tight knit, highly technical group, helping to shape the foundations of a rapidly evolving product. If you enjoy solving hard problems, spotting bugs before they become silicon re-spins, and collaborating with smart people, this might be a great fit.Seniority levelSeniority levelMid-Senior levelEmployment typeEmployment typeContractJob functionJob functionEngineering, Information Technology, and ResearchIndustriesSemiconductor Manufacturing, Computer Hardware Manufacturing, and Computers and Electronics ManufacturingReferrals increase your chances of interviewing at IC Resources by 2xGet notified about new Design Verification Engineer jobs in Boston, MA.Design Verification and Validation (V&V) EngineerBoston, MA $72,800.00-$80,100.00 4 days agoBoxborough, MA $171,200.00-$256,800.00 1 week agoBoston, MA $100,000.00-$500,000.00 4 days agoWaltham, MA $72,800.00-$80,100.00 4 days agoBoxborough, MA $171,200.00-$256,800.00 1 week agoMaynard, MA $118,700.00-$164,700.00 2 weeks agoLowell, MA $80,000.00-$100,000.00 3 days agoEquipment Validation Engineer(Contract) 22222Hardware Verification Engineer (Semi Test Engineering; North Reading, MA)Westford, MA $168,000.00-$310,500.00 2 weeks agoVerification Engineer (Embedded Medical Device)Medford, MA $135,000.00-$180,000.00 2 weeks agoWe’re unlocking community knowledge in a new way.
