Design Verification Engineer in Toronto

Amazon is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform, and our Custom Silicon organization is revolutionizing how we deliver cloud services to our customers. You’ll be part of a team that drives innovation in custom chip development, directly impacting the future of cloud computing.

As a member of the Cloud-Scale Machine Learning Acceleration team you’ll be developing hardware solutions for AWS data centers including AWS Inferentia and Trainium systems - custom designed machine learning data center accelerators. We are looking for a passionate Design Verification Engineer to join our newly formed team responsible for verifying high-speed I/O and scale-up/out components across the SoC. You will take full ownership of delivering comprehensive verification solutions at a sub-system/chip level, with strong emphasis on system-wide implications and interactions. This role requires developing and implementing verification environments using state-of-the-art simulation methodology. You will create robust test scenarios and collaborate closely with design, architecture, and software teams to ensure thorough coverage of hardware-software interfaces and cross-module functionality.

Key job responsibilities:

• Own the development and execution of verification plans for components at sub-system and chip levels.
• Build and implement verification environments using advanced simulation methodologies and industry-standard tools.
• Define, create and execute comprehensive test scenarios covering system-level flows, critical paths, and corner cases.
• Drive coverage closure and verification sign-off to ensure high-quality, tape-out ready design.

About The Team:

Inclusive Team Culture: Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings, and host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon conferences.
