Own functional verification for production ASIC projects from day one.About NativechipsNativeChips (NC) is a US-based company with teams in the US and Cairo, building an AI-augmentedplatform for chip design. We work across proprietary and open-source EDA stacks, applying AI/ML tomake chip design faster and more accessible. We deliver platforms to IDMs and offer self-serve PaaS to design teams worldwide. We're a small, senior team — every hire shapes the product and the company.About the roleWe're hiring a Senior Verification Engineer to lead functional verification on customer ASIC projects.You'll architect testbenches in proprietary and open-source verification stacks, drive coverage closure, and serve as the quality gate for our deliverables.
