## Job description

We’re hiring experienced Design Verification Engineers to play a key role in developing and verifying the designs that will bring our next-generation AI processors to life.

About Us: Mythic is building the future of AI computing with breakthrough analog technology that delivers 100× the performance of traditional digital systems at the same power and cost. This unlocks bigger, more capable models and faster, more responsive applications - whether in edge devices like drones, robotics, and sensors, or in cloud and data center environments. Our technology powers everything from large language models and CNNs to advanced signal processing, and is engineered to operate from –40 °C to +125 °C, making it ideal for industrial, automotive, aerospace, and defense.

We’ve raised over $100M from world-class investors including Softbank, Threshold Ventures, Lux Capital, and DCVC, and secured multi-million-dollar customer contracts across multiple markets.

The salary range for this position is $120,000–$225,000+ annually. Actual compensation depends on experience, skills, qualifications, and location.

Design Verification at Mythic: At Mythic, our Design Verification (DV) team is central to ensuring the correctness and reliability of our novel digital dataflow architecture, which includes a sophisticated scheduling subsystem, high-performance interconnect fabric, and advanced DMA engines that work together with our Analog Compute Engines to accelerate AI workloads. DV engineers collaborate closely with RTL design, architecture modeling, custom analog IP, compiler, emulation, and post-silicon teams to ensure the full system operates as intended.

Because today’s AI workloads are too large and intricate to be fully verified in hardware alone, our team takes creative and rigorous approaches—combining simulation, modeling, and innovative verification strategies—to prove that neural networks will function correctly and efficiently. We welcome engineers at all levels of experience who are eager to tackle challenging verification problems and contribute to the success of our breakthrough AI hardware.

## Responsibilities

- Hands-on system-level and block-level verification.
- Development of test plans and coverage plans.
- Testbench development and execution using UVM or other advanced DV methodologies.
- Creation of verification infrastructure and flows.
- Leverage architecture models and emulation environments to help verify large AI network functionality on the design.
- Collaborate with RTL designers and architects to verify subsystems such as scheduling fabrics, interconnects, DMA engines, and memory controllers.

## Requirements

- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
- 8+ years of industry experience developing verification testbenches.
- Knowledge of verification methodologies (UVM or similar).
- Solid understanding of computer architecture, including datapaths, memory hierarchies, and interconnects.
- Experience verifying one or more of the following: scheduling subsystems, high-performance interconnects, DMA engines, or memory subsystems.
- Understanding of Verilog, SystemVerilog, and UVM.
- Proven track record of first-pass silicon success.
- Strong communication skills, both written and spoken.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with emulation or FPGA prototyping for large-scale designs.
- Knowledge of coverage-driven verification and advanced stimulus generation techniques.
- Exposure to formal verification methods and tools.
- Familiarity with power-aware and performance-driven verification flows.
- Prior experience verifying AI, DSP, or other highly parallel architectures.
- Strong scripting skills (Python or similar) for automation and infrastructure development.

## About Mythic

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Mythic is a semiconductor company developing analog compute-in-memory (CIM) processing units that deliver up to 100x greater energy efficiency for AI inference at the edge, in automotive, and in the data center.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series C; total funding $290.4M as of 2021)
- **Headquarters**: Austin, Texas, United States (with offices in Silicon Valley, Vancouver, and Bangalore)
- **Founded**: 2012
- **Founders**: Mike Henry, Dave Fick, and Laura Fick (co‑founder and Chief Analog Compute Architect)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Semiconductor manufacturing – AI hardware accelerators
- **Target customers**: B2B – OEMs and system integrators in automotive, defense, robotics, industrial IoT, and enterprise data centers
- **Mission statement**: “Enable a new era of AI performance and innovation by making it easier and more affordable to deploy powerful AI solutions, from the data center to the edge device.”

## Products & Services
- **Mythic APU (Analog Processing Unit)**: A chip built on analog compute-in-memory architecture that stores AI model weights inside flash memory and performs computation directly at the source, eliminating the energy wasted by moving data between processor and memory. Delivers up to 100x system‑level performance‑per‑watt‑per‑dollar vs. conventional digital/GPU inference. Available today for edge and enterprise deployments.
- **Mythic Software Platform**: A unified hardware/software stack that simplifies deploying AI models on the APU, including compilers, runtimes, and model optimization tools.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: $14.1M annual revenue (2026 estimate); $290.4M total funding raised across 8 rounds, including a $70M Series C in 2021 led by Hewlett Packard Enterprise and BlackRock, with earlier rounds led by SBVA (SoftBank) and Valor Equity Partners.
- **Notable Investors / Partners**: BlackRock, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Valor Equity Partners, SBVA (SoftBank). The team includes veterans from NVIDIA, ON Semiconductor, and Luminar.
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - Headcount grew 46.4% YoY (to ~42 employees as of 2026).
  - Acquired Videantis (Jan 2026), a German AI processor company whose silicon is already running in 30 million production vehicles, giving Mythic an instant automotive ADAS footprint.
  - Active job postings for 18 open roles across hardware, software, and corporate functions.
  - Expanding into India with a VP of Mythic India and a Bangalore office.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Analog Compute-in-Memory**: Eliminates the Von Neumann bottleneck by computing in analog directly where data is stored, achieving up to 100x better energy efficiency than traditional digital or GPU inference.
- **Automotive‑Grade from Day One**: The Videantis acquisition provides proven, scalable ADAS/AD platforms already deployed in millions of vehicles, with customers like Bosch, Continental, and Valeo.
- **Proven Silicon**: Mythic’s APU is operational and available today, not theoretical.
