Job Description:

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
  • Daily lunch + dinner in our office
