We are seeking a Design Verification Engineer to join our Systems/Performance Verification team. You will ensure the custom IPs powering Sohu — including systolic arrays, DMA engines, and NoCs — are robust, high-performance, and silicon-ready. This role demands creativity, deep technical ability, and the drive to tackle complex verification challenges. You will collaborate with architects, RTL designers, and SW/FW/emulation teams to validate correctness and performance across the full hardware-software stack.
Job Responsibility:
Work closely with architects and RTL designers on verifying the performance features of the design and correlating with performance models (both pre-silicon and post-silicon)
Work closely with software and application developers on identifying performance bottlenecks and tuning the software
Develop test plans and test infrastructure/tools for performance tuning, correlation, and verification
Improve and maintain the architectural performance models
Develop tests in SystemVerilog, Python, or vectors to debug and correlate the RTL and performance model
Develop SystemVerilog or Python-based checkers for verifying the performance features
Develop coverage monitors and analyze coverage to ensure all performance features are covered
Debug performance issues and conduct performance tuning on silicon
Drive end-to-end performance tuning, ensuring optimal hardware utilization, software efficiency, and architectural alignment across the ASIC design lifecycle
Requirements:
ASIC/SoC Design & Verification Experience
Strong understanding of digital design, RTL, and ASIC design flows
Hands-on experience with performance verification, simulation, and modeling
SystemVerilog & Python Expertise
Comfortable developing checkers, coverage monitors, and testbenches in SystemVerilog
Skilled in writing Python scripts for automation, data analysis, and performance modeling
Architecture & Performance Modeling Knowledge
Experience building and maintaining performance models for chip subsystems
Understanding of memory hierarchies, pipelines, interconnects, and compute accelerators
Software Performance Profiling
Familiarity with performance bottleneck analysis, compiler optimizations, and workload tuning
Some exposure to kernel level performance metrics and profiling tools
What we offer:
Medical, dental, and vision packages with generous premium coverage
$500 per month credit for waiving medical benefits
Housing subsidy of $2k per month for those living within walking distance of the office
Relocation support for those moving to San Jose (Santana Row)
Various wellness benefits covering fitness, mental health, and more
