Verification Engineer | Core Engineering

As a Verification Engineer on the Core Development team at Jump Trading, you own ASIC verification from planning through sign-off. You work across architecture, RTL design, software, implementation, and infrastructure, translating demanding real-world requirements into robust, thoroughly verified designs that power our trading platform.

What you'll do

• Own verification environments from planning through sign-off by translating architectural and system requirements into verification strategies, test plans, and measurable completion criteria
• Build scalable verification environments including reusable testbenches, reference models, stimulus, scoreboards, and other verification components
• Drive verification closure using coverage, assertions, and regression results to assess risk and build confidence in designs
• Solve challenging hardware and software problems by collaborating across disciplines to isolate root causes, resolve spec ambiguities, and drive issues to closure
• Make sound engineering trade-offs that balance verification depth, development effort, and delivery timelines to deliver right first-time silicon
• Improve productivity by developing automation, CI, regression infrastructure, and tooling that make verification faster, more reliable, and lower maintenance
• Contribute beyond verification by bringing a verification perspective to architecture and design reviews

What you bring

• At least 3 years of design verification experience, including work on complex ASIC/SoC projects
• Experience creating and executing verification plans, building verification environments, and driving metric-based sign-off
• Strong programming and HDL development skills in SystemVerilog and Python, with proficiency in C/C++
• A solid understanding of digital design principles and the ability to reason about hardware behavior, corner cases, and trade-offs
• Strong debugging skills across hardware and software with a systematic approach to diagnosing complex failures
• The ability to turn high-level or evolving requirements into clear, testable specifications
• A collaborative and reliable approach with clear communication, accountability for deliverables, and the ability to give and take constructive criticism
• A degree in electrical or electronic engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, or a related discipline

Nice to have

• Experience with UVM, cocotb, or assertion-based verification
• Experience with formal verification tools and techniques
• Experience developing front-end ASIC tooling, verification infrastructure, or engineering workflows
• Familiarity with processor architectures, assembly language, and embedded software development

What we offer

• Private medical, vision, and dental insurance
• Travel medical insurance
• Group pension scheme
• Group life assurance and income protection schemes
• Paid parental leave
• Parking and commuter benefits
