Our distributed control stacks allow for parallel qubit readout and nanosecond-level synchronization across massive architectures. Imagine the complexity of all-to-all connectivity for 1000 qubits, interacting with physical hardware via high-frequency analogue signals-that is the scale of the challenge our verification team faces.\nAs we expand our R&D capabilities, we are looking for a Digital Verification Engineer to ensure our hardware is as reliable as the physics it controls.\nThe Role\nYou will be a key driver in our RTL verification strategy, developing robust, metric-driven testbenches at both the module and system levels. This is not a siloed role; you will act as a technical sparring partner for our Digital Design and Embedded Software teams, influencing architecture and processes by proposing improvements based on industry best practices.\nAt Qblox, we foster a culture of ownership. You will have the opportunity to influence technical decisions at a high level and gain a deep understanding of the entire quantum control stack, learning from our in-house physics experts along the way.\nWhat you will do\nOwn the Verification: Autonomously develop robust, metric-driven testbenches for complex FPGA/RTL modules and full systems.\n\nBridge the Disciplines: Collaborate closely with Digital Design and Embedded Software engineers to analyze requirements and verify technical solutions.\n\nInterpret Complexity: Work with internal design specs and vendor documentation for FPGAs, third-party ASICs, and software.\n\nDrive Methodology: Proactively suggest and implement new tools, methodologies (like Cocotb), and advancements in the verification domain.\n\nAnalyze & Evaluate: Understand and interpret VHDL code to ensure effective verification coverage while maintaining a collaborative loop with designers.\n\nWhy Qblox?\nWe offer a dynamic environment where engineering meets cutting-edge physics research. You’ll be part of a highly international team that values inclusive knowledge exchange, technical ownership, and a healthy work-life balance.\nRequirements\nEnough about us, what about you?\nTo thrive in this environment, you likely possess a \"first-principles\" approach to problem-solving and a drive to see complex R&D projects through to completion.\nThe Background: 4+ years of experience in RTL verification within an R&D environment.\n\nThe Technical Core: Expertise in verification planning and implementing self-checking testbenches. You are fluent in SystemVerilog/UVM and have a strong grasp of Python (OOP).\n\nThe Tools: Hands-on experience with high-end simulators (Cadence Xcelium, Synopsys VCS) and a solid understanding of VHDL.\n\nThe Architectural Sense: Familiarity with processor and bus-system architectures (e.g., AMBA AXI, Avalon).\n\nThe Essentials: Proficiency with Git for version control and a results-driven mindset with a high degree of accountability.\n\nThe \"Nice to Haves\": Knowledge of Cocotb and PyUVM is a significant plus. Experience with CI/CD (GitLab), container technologies (Docker/Podman), C/C++, or lab-based product validation will help you hit the ground running.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3176,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Hardware","Science & Engineering","Quantum Science & Computing","Quantum Computing Hardware"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-26T03:13:06Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":34,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.626,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":34,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":101412,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/qblox-digital-verification-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/qblox-digital-verification-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T00:57:05Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1296,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":20997},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=20997"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fqblox-digital-verification-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fqblox-digital-verification-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fqblox-digital-verification-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/qblox-digital-verification-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fqblox-digital-verification-engineer"}]}
