Design Verification Engineer – Physical AI Compute
You develop and execute verification strategies for complex SoC components and systems. You build SystemVerilog and UVM verification environments, define coverage goals, verify hardware and software interactions, analyze performance and real-time behavior, develop assertions and checkers, participate in emulation and FPGA prototyping, and debug issues across hardware and software boundaries.
Responsibilities
- Develop and execute verification strategies for key portions of the SoC
- Build verification environments using SystemVerilog, UVM, C/C++, assertions, formal verification, and emulation
- Define verification plans, coverage goals, and correctness criteria with architects and RTL engineers
- Verify compute engines, memory subsystems, interconnect fabrics, control processors, DMA engines, and other SoC infrastructure
- Perform hardware-software co-verification involving firmware, drivers, runtime software, and operating system interactions
- Verify performance, latency, bandwidth, QoS, and real-time behavior under representative workloads
- Develop assertions, checkers, scoreboards, and automated verification infrastructure
- Participate in emulation, FPGA prototyping, and pre-silicon software bring-up
- Investigate bugs, perform root-cause analysis, and debug across hardware and software boundaries
- Perform post-silicon debug and root-cause analysis
- Use AI-assisted verification workflows to improve productivity, quality, and coverage
- Contribute to continuous improvement
