Job Description

NVIDIA is looking for a Senior Custom SOC/IP Verification Engineer to verify next-generation SoC and IP solutions, focusing on cache coherency protocols and AMBA-based interconnects. The role requires expertise in ASIC verification and collaboration with various teams to ensure comprehensive verification plans.

Requirements

  • B.S. or M.S. degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 8+ years of experience in ASIC verification, particularly in cache coherency or memory subsystem verification
  • Strong knowledge of System Verilog and UVM methodology
  • Hands-on experience with AMBA protocols, especially AXI, ACE, and CHI
  • Familiarity with SoC architectures, memory models, and CPU-cache interactions
  • Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl, TCL) and working knowledge of C/C++ for testbench or model integration

Responsibilities

  • Responsible for ASIC design verification for various processing blocks within a SOC, with a strong focus on cache coherency protocols and complex memory hierarchies
  • Develop and complete test plans for cache coherency verification of ASIC-based SoCs using UVM-based environments
  • Design and implement constrained-random and directed System Verilog testbenches targeting multi-level cache hierarchies and interconnect fabric
  • Collaborate extensively with Architecture, SW/FW, Design, Modeling, Emulation, and Post-Silicon Validation teams to ensure comprehensive first-time right verification plans and execution
  • Drive the development of silicon and platform verification strategies and methodologies

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
