Our Mission

　　At Palo Alto Networks® everything starts and ends with our mission:

　　Being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life.

　　Our vision is a world where each day is safer and more secure than the one before. We are a company built on the foundation of challenging and disrupting the way things are done, and we’re looking for innovators who are as committed to shaping the future of cybersecurity as we are.

　　Our Approach to Work

　　We lead with flexibility and choice in all of our people programs. We have disrupted the traditional view that all employees have the same needs and wants. We offer personalization and offer our employees the opportunity to choose what works best for them as often as possible - from your wellbeing support to your growth and development, and beyond!

　　At Palo Alto Networks, we believe in the power of collaboration and value in-person interactions. This is why our employees generally work from the office three days per week, leaving two days for choice and flexibility to work where you feel most effective. This setup fosters casual conversations, problem-solving, and trusted relationships. While details may evolve, our goal is to create an environment where innovation thrives, with office-based teams coming together three days a week to collaborate and thrive, together!

　　Your Career

　　As a Design Verification engineer on the ASIC team, you will ensure that the ASICs in our groundbreaking next-generation firewall products meet or exceed industry-leading requirements for features, performance, and reliability. You will define verification methodologies, architect test benches, write test plans, specify coverage, write tests, and debug. You will work on diverse platforms including simulation, emulation, formal verification, and silicon validation.

　　We expect office-based employees to be in the office three days per week, with two days working from where they choose. We believe being together facilitates casual conversations and those magic moments where we can work on issues and ideas informally. These moments build capability and deepen trusted relationships and allow our people to feel safe in taking risks and being disruptive. Like so many companies, we are working through the details and things could change …. but in general if a role is deemed office-based we want our teams to be together four days per week.
