Manager III, Software Development, Verification Team Lead at Amazon · Trevo
Annapurna Labs is the team behind AWS Graviton the industry's most advanced ARM-based server SoC.
We operate like a start-up with the scale of the world's largest cloud provider.
We're looking for a Senior Design Verification Technical Lead- a design verification technical lead that is responsible for complex SoC sub-system, with cutting edge technology for Graviton server SoC.
• It starts at product definition- we engage from day one, shaping requirements and translating product intent into verification strategies before a single line of RTL is written
• It extends into software- we work side-by-side with SW teams, verifying hardware-software interfaces and ensuring seamless integration across the stack
• It reaches into physical design- we verify physical design aspects within functional verification, bridging the gap between logical correctness and silicon reality
• It closes the loop- from spec to silicon, our verification touches every team and every stage of chip development
What Sets Us Apart
Agentic AI is embedded in our workflow- not as an experiment, but as a core part of how we design and verify chips
Cutting edge methodologies drive every stage of our verification process
Relentless innovation- we don't settle; we actively seek new approaches that raise the bar on silicon quality
We do classic functional verification (SV/UVM/TLM), but beyond that, we touch physical design aspects, to ensure that the quality of our silicon is beyond logical functionality
Performance optimization at all levels is at the heart of our targets on top of logical correctness verification

Key job responsibilities
You start by reviewing operational metrics and system health dashboards, then connect with your engineers during stand-ups to unblock priorities and provide technical guidance. Midday, you might partner with product management to refine upcoming roadmap items or review a design document from a senior engineer on your team. You regularly hold one-on-ones focused on career growth and development planning. Throughout the day, you shift between strategic planning sessions, cross-team alignment discussions, and writing narratives that communicate your team's vision and progress to leadership.
Basic Qualifications
Electrical/Computer Science engineer
8+ years of experience with full-chip/system-level verification of a large-scale SoC
Experience with Test Writing and SW development (C/C++/Assembly)
Hands-on verification/validation experience, including: debugging emulation and/or silicon platforms, waveform debugging, coverage definition and analysis, etc.
Nice to have
Knowledge of ARM architecture
Knowledge of the following programming languages: Perl/Bash/TCl/Python
Knowledge of Processors, PCIe, Ethernet, DDR
Knowledge of Hardware Verification concepts and tools (UVM , Coverage Driven verification), Verilog/SystemVerilog/Specman
