About the Role

Jump Trading Group's Core Development team is a global group of technologists who architect, build and maintain a world-class trading platform, leveraging software and hardware engineering, data science and research. As an ASIC Verification Engineer, you will combine strong technical skills with pragmatic problem-solving, curiosity, and a drive to deliver on complex projects. Verification is integral to the design process, and you will work across architecture, RTL design, software, implementation, and infrastructure. Working closely with designers and trading teams, you will translate demanding real-world requirements into robust, thoroughly verified designs.

  • Own verification environments from planning through sign-off, translating architectural and system requirements into verification strategies, test plans, and measurable completion criteria.
  • Build scalable verification environments, including reusable testbenches, reference models, stimulus, and scoreboards.
  • Drive verification closure using coverage, assertions, and regression results to assess risk and build confidence in designs.
  • Solve challenging hardware and software problems, collaborating across disciplines to isolate root causes and resolve spec ambiguities.
  • Improve productivity through automation, CI, regression infrastructure, and tooling.
  • Contribute a verification perspective to architecture and design reviews.

Requirements

  • 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, including 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, clear communication, accountability for your deliverables and ability to give and take constructive criticism
  • A degree in electrical or electronic engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, or a related discipline
  • Bonus Points: Experience with UVM, cocotb, or assertion-based verification
  • Bonus Points: Experience with formal verification tools and techniques
  • Bonus Points: Experience developing front-end ASIC tooling, verification infrastructure, or engineering workflows
  • Bonus Points: Familiarity with processor architectures, assembly language, and embedded software development
