Design Verification Engineer

Job Title

Design Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Join Baidu's SoC verification team in Sunnyvale to verify AI SoC blocks and full-chip functionality. The role focuses on UVM testbench development, RTL and gate-level functional verification, coverage closure, failure analysis, and coordination with design and systems engineering.

Experience Level

Mid-level — minimum 5 years of relevant design verification experience (UVM/SystemVerilog).

Responsibilities

Execute and lead functional verification efforts for blocks and full SoC. Primary responsibilities include:

• Develop UVM-based testbenches and verification environments.
• Create directed and constrained-random tests and regression suites; automate regressions.
• Perform RTL and gate-level simulation, debug failures, track and close verification bugs.
• Define verification plans and coverage models; drive coverage analysis to closure.
• Support mixed-signal co-simulation using Verilog models of analog IP.
• Assist emulation and silicon bring-up debugging by reproducing issues in simulation.
• Collaborate with design and systems teams to review specs, extract features, and refine verification scope.

Requirements

Must-have and preferred skills:

• Must-have: Minimum 5 years of UVM-based verification on complex projects.
• Advanced knowledge of ASIC verification flows, simulation, and testbench development.
• Advanced SystemVerilog and UVM methodology skills.
• Strong skills in constrained-random testing, coverage closure, gate-level simulation, and X-propagation.
• Proficiency in at least one scripting language (Perl, Python, or Tcl).
• SoC/IP verification experience in areas such as PCIe, Ethernet, HBM, GDDR, DDR, MMU, or cache.
• Familiarity with C/C++.
• Experience with formal verification techniques (model checking, equivalence checking).
• Excellent communication skills in English and Chinese.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
