About Fondazione Chips-IT
The Foundation “Italian Center for the Design of Semiconductor Integrated Circuits,” also known as the Chips-IT Foundation, is a nonprofit research and technology organization under the supervision of the Ministries of Industry.
The Foundation is Italy's first RTO (Research and Technology Organization) vertically focused on semiconductor research and stands as a center of excellence in frontier research on semiconductor design, as well as a pivotal center of the Italian semiconductor ecosystem and expertise.
Missions of the Foundation:
- Promote the design and development of integrated circuits
- Strengthen the system of professional training in the field of microelectronics
- Ensure the establishment of a network of universities, research centers and enterprises that fosters innovation and technology transfer in the field
The Chips-IT Foundation is seeking an experienced Software Engineer to support the development and integration of embedded software and modeling frameworks for advanced System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms.
The role focuses on system-level modeling, operating system integration (including real-time OS), deployment of AI workloads, and development of parallel programming frameworks for multi-core architectures. The position involves working closely with hardware, verification, and application teams to enable full-stack software support for novel SoC designs. The work can be carried out either in Pavia or in Bologna.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Define and implement verification strategies at IP and SoC levels.
- Develop and maintain UVM-based verification environments, including testbenches and functional coverage.
- Design and execute test plans aligned with design specifications and requirements.
- Debug RTL and simulation issues using advanced tools and techniques.
- Integrate verification components and ensure complete test coverage.
- Contribute to regression infrastructure and manage automated test execution.
- Collaborate
