About the role
About the company:
Anthriq is a signal processing infrastructure company. We build the full acquisition and compute stack for human-aware technology — from custom analog front-end IP that captures biosignals at the source, to signal-first compute systems built for time-critical, deterministic workloads.
Our infrastructure is designed around one principle: the signal should never be the bottleneck. General-purpose processors — CPUs, GPUs, DSPs — were not built for this class of problems. They approximate determinism. We built it in by architecture.
Anthriq Silicon is our ground-up effort to build a new compute category.
Key responsibilities
- Architect multi-agent UVM environments for a wide-issue VLIW pipeline (fetch, decode, hazard detection, execution units, in-
flight credit model). - Build equivalence scoreboards: SystemVerilog RTL vs. C/C++ cycle-accurate ISS, integer and IEEE-754 FP.
- Develop constrained-random assembly generators for 100% ISA and register-file coverage across a large custom opcode
space. - Write SVA and drive formal property verification for arithmetic pipelines (fixed/float FMA, matrix multipliers, CORDIC,
dividers). - Verify a compiler/hardware worst-case-timing contract (measured vs. claimed latency).
- Execute and debug block-level SDF back-annotated GLS.
Must-have skills:
- 5+ years verifying processor cores (VLIW, SIMD, DSP, or custom RISC-V vector extensions).
- Advanced SystemVerilog, UVM, SVA.
- IEEE-754 floating-point AND fixed-point arithmetic-pipeline verification; matrix math, FFT/CORDIC.
- Proven 100% functional-coverage closure on complex IP.
Nice to Have:
- C/C++ reference modeling.
- Formal tools / proof convergence.
- WCET / timing-contract verification
- Target EDA tools: Cadence Xcelium, JasperGold, vManager
