Verification & Emulation Methodology Engineer

Celestial AI is looking for a Verification & Emulation Methodology Engineer who thrives on both building methodology and using it daily. In this role you will :

• Contribute directly to block- and system-level verification in SystemVerilog / UVM, driving coverage and closing bugs.

This is a rare opportunity to both shape modern verification infrastructure and apply it on cutting-edge photonic AI hardware with minimal legacy constraints.
