VSORA is a French fabless semiconductor company delivering ultra-high-performance AI inference solutions for both data centers and edge deployments. Our proprietary architecture achieves exceptional implementation efficiency, ultra-low latency, and minimal power draw - dramatically cutting inference costs across any workload. Fully programmable and agnostic to both algorithms and host processors, our chips serve as versatile companion platforms. A rich instruction set lets them seamlessly handle pure AI, pure DSP, or any hybrid of the two, all without burdening developers with extra complexity. To streamline development and shorten time-to market, VSORA embraces industry standards: our toolchain is built on LLVM and supports common frameworks like ONNX and PyTorch, minimizing integration effort and customer cost. Based in the outskirts of Paris (Headquarted in Meudon - France), the company was founded in 2015 by a team of highly qualified and accomplished AI/DSP experts and entrepreneurs (with one subsidiary in the US and rep offices around the world), validated its core technology end of 2025 and is about to initiate its commercial ramp up with a view to reach €500m+ in the next 2 years. We are seeking a passionate Digital Design and Verification Engineer to design and verify our next-generation chips. In this key technical role, you will be responsible for the entire digital development flow, from architecture to silicon validation, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.

Your key responsibilities:

Design and Develop:

• Take charge of RTL design, micro-architecture definition, and integration of functional blocks or complex sub-systems (IP).

Verify and Ensure Quality:

• Develop and implement tests, advanced testbenches (SystemVerilog, C++), and simulation methodologies at the block and system levels.

Collaborate to Innovate:

• Work hand-in-hand with Firmware and high-level Software teams to optimize architecture, solve complex problems, and ensure product success.

Support Validation:

• Actively participate in pre-silicon validation (potentially using emulators) and post-silicon validation to debug and characterize devices.

Document and Capitalize:

• Contribute to technical documentation and the creation of intellectual property.

The profile we are looking for:

Education and Experience:

• Master's or Ph.D. degree in Microelectronics or a related field.
• At least 2 years of proven experience in digital ASIC/SoC design and verification.

Essential Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in SystemVerilog and SystemC for design and verification.
• Hands-on experience with system-level verification.
• Solid knowledge of SoC architecture (buses, memory controllers, IP integration).
• Full professional proficiency in English (written and spoken) is essential for collaboration in our international environment.

Preferred Skills (A Plus):

• Knowledge of RISC-V or other CPU architectures.
• Experience with DSP architectures.
• Experience using emulators (e.g., Cadence Palladium, Synopsys Zebu).
• Knowledge of SystemC and the DPI interface.
• Scripting skills with Python and/or TCL.
• Proficiency in C/C++.

What we offer you:

• A central technical role with a strong impact on innovative products.
• The opportunity to master the entire digital development flow.
• A stimulating collaboration with diverse expert teams (software, test, systems).
• A dynamic environment that values technical leadership and innovation.
