About the role

About Unconventional: Since 2022, AI has entered the mainstream, reshaping entire industries from education and software development to fundamental consumer behaviors.
This revolution has created an unprecedented demand for computation - a demand that is now fundamentally limited by energy, not just in the datacenter, but at a global scale.
We're doing this by exploiting the rich physics of semiconductors, mapping neural networks directly to the device physics rather than relying on layers of inefficient abstraction.

Verification Strategy & Architecture: Define, architect, and implement comprehensive verification plans and environments for IP blocks and full chip from specification to tape-out.
Cross-Functional Integration: Collaborate closely with digital and analog design teams, as well as software and systems teams, to define verification requirements, debug complex hardware/software interactions, and ensure design integrity.
Technical Expertise: Proven track record of developing and maintaining complex verification testbenches and automated test environments.
The Impact: Shape the company's future as a foundational team member. Enjoy massive ownership and an outsized opportunity to drive change.

Scripting Experience: Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Shell, or Bash ) for automation of verification flows and result analysis
The Mission: Redefine computing for the next 50 years by solving the fundamental energy limitation of AI at a global scale.
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Minimum of 8 years of hands-on experience with advanced verification methodologies and languages, specifically UVM and SystemVerilog.
Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Shell, or Bash ) for automation of verification flows and result analysis

Master's degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science, with a specific emphasis on computer architecture.
Expert-level knowledge of UVM architecture and high-level behavioral modeling.
Experience with modern AI-driven code generation tools

A comprehensive package including best-in-class health benefits, 401k matching, truly unlimited PTO, and complimentary meals in our Palo Alto office.
Methodology and Infrastructure: help build verification infrastructure from ground zero to flexible and nimble environments, able to move quickly and scale for growth.
Advanced Methodology Execution: Deploy industry-standard methodologies (UVM/SystemVerilog) to conduct constrained-random stimulus generation, coverage-driven verification, and assertions.
Analysis & Closure: Perform exhaustive analysis of functional and code coverage.
Education: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Since 2022, AI has entered the mainstream, reshaping entire industries from education and software development to fundamental consumer behaviors.

At Unconventional, our mission is to solve this.
We are rethinking computing from the ground up to build a new foundation for AI that is 1000x more efficient.
