We are seeking a Design Verification Engineer to lead subsystem and IP‑level functional verification of high‑speed interface protocol blocks in our AI chips. You will guide a team of highly skilled verification engineers to deliver sign‑off‑quality designs, collaborating closely with RTL design, SoC architecture, firmware, and other verification teams. This is a hands-on leadership role requiring deep technical expertise and cross‑functional coordination.

Key Responsibilities
- Architect, set up, and debug functional verification environments across multiple design blocks and subsystem levels.
- Serve as the protocol expert, providing clarity on expected behaviors of AMBA and high‑speed interfaces (PCIe, UCIe, SerDes, etc.).
- Debug mismatches between RTL, DV models, and specifications, ensuring functional correctness and compliance.
- Develop and maintain UVM‑based testbenches, scripts, and flows to automate verification compile/run cycles.
- Triage and root‑cause simulation failures, track bugs, and drive closure with cross‑functional teams.
- Optimize simulation runtime, capacity,



and compile turnaround for large‑scale designs.
- Maintain detailed documentation of methodologies, flows, and known issues.

Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or related field).
- 10+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC design verification, with recent focus on high‑speed protocols (PCIe, UCIe, SerDes).
- Deep expertise in on‑chip bus protocols (AXI, CXS, AHB, CHI, etc.).
- Proven experience developing UVM‑based testbenches and driving coverage‑driven sign‑off flows.
- Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals and SoC microarchitectures.
- Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog and simulation tools (VCS, Xcelium, Questa).
- Exceptional debugging and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to work independently on complex challenges.

Preferred Qualifications
- Experience using AI‑assisted tools for design verification and regressi
