Fractile is hiring a Silicon Verification Engineer to help build the silicon, systems, and software needed to push past the memory bottleneck that limits today\u00e2\u0080\u0099s AI hardware. The company\u00e2\u0080\u0099s focus is on creating chips that can keep up with the growing demands of AI inference, especially where sequential reasoning and internal clock speed become the key constraints. This is a chance to contribute to ambitious frontier-AI hardware alongside a team that is working across silicon, software, modelling, and systems to deliver products intended for data-centre scale-out applications.<\/p>\n

The company is looking for someone who is genuinely enthusiastic about verification and wants to improve the discipline rather than simply follow existing routines. The role suits an engineer who enjoys applying software-style thinking to hardware problems, who cares about improving tape-out quality and lowering development cost, and who wants to help shape better ways of working across hardware and software teams. Fractile describes the environment as collaborative, open, and fast-moving, with a strong emphasis on curiosity, learning, and shared problem-solving.<\/p>\n

What you will do<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Take an active role in verifying ML\/AI IC products designed for scale-out use in data-centre environments.<\/li>\n
  • Work with modelling, system architecture, and RTL design teams to ensure RTL releases are functionally robust and meet a very high standard of quality.<\/li>\n
  • Contribute to specification and architecture conversations, helping connect requirements, design intent, and verification strategy.<\/li>\n
  • Use a software-oriented approach to improve hardware verification workflows and strengthen the quality of tape-out decisions.<\/li>\n
  • Help refine engineering practices and encourage better collaboration between hardware and software specialists.<\/li>\n
  • Bring rigour, attention to detail, and a willingness to challenge assumptions to the verification process.<\/li>\n
  • Operate with ownership and initiative in a scaling team where rapid progress and direct engagement with leadership are part of the day-to-day working style.<\/li>\n
  • Support a full-stack development effort in which hardware, software, silicon, and modelling teams work closely together toward a product with major long-term significance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What Fractile is looking for<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • The ideal candidate has around 3 or more years of relevant experience, although the company presents this as an ideal background rather than a hard cutoff.<\/li>\n
    • Strong software development skills, particularly in Python or another object-oriented language such as C++.<\/li>\n
    • A good understanding of digital hardware principles.<\/li>\n
    • Ability to read RTL written in SystemVerilog and debug issues in it.<\/li>\n
    • Comfort working with waveform-based debugging tools and techniques.<\/li>\n
    • Applicants with UVM experience or a strong software background are encouraged to apply even if they have not previously worked extensively with RTL.<\/li>\n
    • A mindset that fits a high-impact engineering team: detail-focused, humble, eager to learn, willing to improve existing practices, and comfortable working in a fast-paced collaborative setting.<\/li>\n
    • Interest in being a constructive disruptor who helps move hardware development forward and improve the connection between hardware and software teams.<\/li>\n
    • Desirable experience includes pre-silicon RTL verification, verification planning and execution from specification, testbench development, stimulus creation, functional modelling of hardware blocks, checker development, coverage planning and closure, transaction-level modelling, SystemVerilog Assertions, and working with multiple programming languages.<\/li>\n
    • Additional useful experience includes open-source silicon development tools, cocotb, Verilator, Icarus Verilog, commercial EDA tools, formal verification, monorepo-based development, and contributing to architecture discussions.<\/li>\n
    • Familiarity with Bazel is mentioned as helpful context, but prior experience is not expected because it is the team\u00e2\u0080\u0099s chosen tool.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      How the team works<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Fractile emphasises ownership and execution, giving engineers the freedom to drive their work forward.<\/li>\n
      • The team works in a rapid-iteration style and collaborates directly with senior leadership to move from ideas to hardware on ambitious timelines.<\/li>\n
      • Engineers are expected to work across the stack, with hardware, software, silicon, and modelling teams all contributing closely to the same product.<\/li>\n
      • The company describes its culture as optimistic and pragmatic, with a strong determination to succeed and a focus on doing the hard work required to get there.<\/li>\n
      • Teamwork is central: the mission is considered larger than any individual, and the best idea should win regardless of where it comes from.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        About Fractile<\/h3>\n

        Founded in 2022, Fractile now has more than 100 people across its London and Bristol locations and is growing quickly within the UK frontier-AI ecosystem. The company says it values a broad range of perspectives and actively encourages applications from underrepresented groups in hardware and software engineering.<\/p>\n

        Benefits and working arrangement<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Competitive pay.<\/li>\n
        • Meaningful equity.<\/li>\n
        • Standard company benefits.<\/li>\n
        • Hybrid working, with 2 to 3 days each week spent in the London and Bristol offices.<\/li>\n
        • Exposure to a broad range of disciplines and the opportunity to accelerate your development by working with an experienced, collaborative team.<\/li>\n
        • A culture that welcomes ideas from everyone and gives people room to grow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Additional notes<\/h3>\n

          The role is based in either the Bristol or London office in the UK. The posting also notes that Fractile\u00e2\u0080\u0099s work involves technologies covered by UK and international export-control regulations, so some positions may require extra eligibility checks to comply with applicable law. The company says it will be open about this during the hiring process.<\/p>\n

          To apply, candidates should submit an application through the company\u00e2\u0080\u0099s online application form, which asks for standard details such as contact information, a CV, a cover letter, education history, and profile links.<\/p>\n\n
