ASIC Verification Engineer

Snap Inc is a technology company. We believe the camera presents the greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate. Snap contributes to human progress by empowering people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together.

The Company operates Snapchat, a visual messaging app that enhances your relationships with friends, family, and the world, and Specs Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to making computing more human, in addition to Bitmoji, Saturn, and other digital services.

At Snap Inc., we aren't just building apps; we are reinventing the way people experience the world. We believe the camera is the gateway to a more connected, expressive, and fun future. From Snapchat to Lens Studio, we empower human progress by blending computing with reality.

The Spectacles team is the heartbeat of our hardware innovation. Our world-class R&D group is pushing the absolute boundaries of what's possible, creating the next generation pair of glasses that seamlessly bring augmented reality to life. To power this revolution, we build custom Artificial Intelligence ASICs from the ground up, optimized for extreme efficiency and performance in advanced silicon nodes. This is where state-of-the-art engineering meets the next generation of human interaction.

In this role, you will be responsible for the verification of our AI ASIC design and stand behind the quality of the end-product. You will be part of a highly diverse international team of skilled engineers, and you are expected to be a key driver of the team’s further growth.
