ASIC design and chip verification services for advanced SoC architecture
CIP United provides turnkey design and verification services for complex SoC architectures, with a stack anchored in Verilog, SystemVerilog, and UVM across both simulation and formal verification workflows. The hiring mix—engineering-forward with concurrent legal scaling—paired with active projects in chip verification planning and IP protection suggests the company is maturing both technical delivery and IP risk management as it expands customer volume.
CIP United is a Shanghai-based semiconductor design services firm founded in 2018, serving customers who need architecture definition through tape-out delivery for advanced SoCs. The company specializes in ASIC design and system-level chip verification, working across RISC-V, ARM-compatible architectures, and custom IP blocks. With 51–200 employees and active hiring in China, CIP United is in growth mode: recent role postings span mid-level and senior engineers, plus legal staff—indicating both technical scaling and formalized IP protection operations.
Verilog, SystemVerilog, and UVM form the core verification toolkit. The stack also includes C, Python, and Tcl for toolchain automation, plus protocol layers (AXI, I2C, UART, Ethernet) and RISC-V architecture support.
Active projects include system-level verification, RISC architecture CPU IP verification, and chip verification plan development. The company is also investing in IP protection systems and litigation process improvement.
