• Strong C/C++ and/or SystemVerilog/UVM coding skills and practices, including ability to debug complex software
• Desire to contribute to evangelizing an understanding of Breker’s innovative verification methodologies and flows
• Excellent communication skills, both internal and external, both written and oral
• Willingness to travel as needed (typically 20-30%) to support customers
• Eagerness to be part of a startup and excitement with powerful new technology

Preferred Experience:

• MSEE/MSCS
• Expertise in standard verification methodologies (VMM, OVM, or UVM)
• Knowledge of simulation-based design verification using constrained-random testbenches
• Hands-on participation in full-chip SoC verification including testbench and embedded code
• Knowledge of post-simulation validation such as in-circuit emulation and prototyping
• History of technical pre-sales/consulting activities at customer sites

Senior C/C++ Software Engineer, Bay Area, CA

As a senior software engineer at Breker, you will work closely with our core product team to develop cutting-edge technologies to address the SoC verification crisis.

• Excellent written and oral communication skills
• Self-starter, high energy, and able to develop effective plans for software component implementation
• Eagerness to be part of a startup and a desire to experience the excitement of offering powerful new technology

Preferred Experience:

• PhD with relevant experience in circuit design and verification
• Knowledge about constraint solving techniques, such as Boolean Satisfiability (SAT), Binary Decision Diagrams (BDD), and Satisfiability Modular Theory (SMT)
• Adoption of agile software development methodologies
• Familiarity with hardware design and verification languages, such as Verilog and SystemVerilog
• Hands-on use of software construction tools, such as GNU Make and SVN
