Senior Digital IC Verification Engineer

🚀 Prophesee is the pioneer of the world’s most advanced neuromorphic vision systems!

Thanks to its AI-powered sensors and algorithms, Prophesee is revolutionizing computer vision by mimicking how the human eye and brain work. This new vision paradigm drastically reduces energy consumption and system latency, revealing what was previously invisible to traditional cameras.
The company is powered by a team of over 50 visionary engineers and holds more than 50 international patents. It is backed by leading venture capital and corporate investors such as 360 Capital Partners, the European Investment Bank, iBionext, Inno-Chip, Intel Capital, Renault Group, Robert Bosch Venture Capital, Sinovation, Supernova Invest, and Xiaomi.

• Contract : full time (CDI)
• Location : Paris 11

We are looking for a passionate individual who demonstrates initiative, takes ownership, respects commitments, and exhibits a high level of autonomy and spirit of innovation. The ideal candidate would be a multitasking and creative Digital IC verification engineer. You will be accountable for developing tests and for verifying complex digital circuits to be integrated in the vision sensor. Moreover, you will be defining coverage points and metrics. You will have the responsibility of building block and top level random constrained test benches, creating directive tests for verification and coverage closure, running simulations, regressions and debugging failures working closely with design engineers.

This is a great opportunity to join a state-of-the-art neuromorphic sensor company to lead a paradigm shift in computer vision across many industries. The day-to-day working environment is a small but impacting Digital IC team (~7-10 people). You will be in contact with plenty of other engineering fields (Analog IC team, Systems Team, Software Algorithm team, etc..) and will also participate in silicon bring-up in laboratory when back from foundry.
