Job Summary
We are seeking a Design Verification Engineer to join our Internal IP DV 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.
Key responsibilities
Develop and maintain UVM/SystemVerilog testbenches for high-performance IPs (compute arrays, DMAs, NoCs, memory subsystems).
Define and execute verification plans covering functional correctness, corner cases, concurrency, and performance bottlenecks.
Debug complex datapath and protocol issues in RTL and testbench environments.
Work closely with architects and designers to validate functionality and design intent.
Partner with SW, FW, and emulation teams to ensure end‑to‑end bring‑up and debug coverage.
Contribute to reusable DV infrastructure, coverage models, and methodology improvements.
You may be a good fit if you have
Proficiency with UVM and SystemVerilog.
Strong debugging and problem‑solving skills for complex digital designs.
Solid knowledge of computer architecture and digital design fundamentals.
Hands‑on experience verifying datapaths, memory systems, interconnects, or high‑throughput fabrics.
Strong candidates may also have experience with
Familiarity with SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and formal verification techniques.
Experience verifying systolic arrays, DMA engines, or NoC/AXI protocols.
Scripting skills (Python/Perl/TCL or similar) for automation, debug and regression flows.
