Services to Customers

A trusted consulting partner at every phase of your ASIC development lifecycle.

SSN’s client engagement model is designed to address the two most common pain points in ASIC development: skill scarcity and schedule pressure. We offer flexible engagement structures that can augment your existing team, take ownership of a specific verification domain, or deliver an end-to-end verification solution for a targeted IP or subsystem.

Staff Augmentation

Deploy pre-vetted, immediately productive verification engineers into your existing team. SSN consultants integrate seamlessly with client workflows, tools, and culture. Engagements typically run 6–24 months, aligning with tape-out milestones.

Project-Based Verification Delivery

For clients who want a defined scope delivered at a fixed price, SSN provides project-based verification services. Deliverables include UVM environment source code, test plan documents, coverage closure reports, regression suites, and final verification sign-off reports.

Verification Architecture Consulting

For early-stage projects, SSN provides verification architecture consulting — defining the testbench topology, coverage plan, VIP selection, simulation vs. emulation strategy, and team structure before a single line of RTL has been written.

Talent Search & Placement

For clients seeking to hire permanent ASIC/FPGA engineers, SSN leverages its global network to identify, assess, and deliver candidates who match the technical profile and cultural fit requirements. Our technical screening goes beyond CV review — candidates are evaluated on live SystemVerilog and UVM problem-solving exercises.
