Job description

The System Verification Engineer will join NVIDIA's Emulation division, working onsite in Santa Clara, CA. This role focuses on supporting multiple emulation environments and bringing up GPUs, SOCs, and various protocols. The engineer will collaborate with design, validation, and software teams to root cause system-level test failures and emulator issues. The position requires a strong background in verification methodologies and protocol knowledge.

Requirements

  • M.S or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering or related field with 4+ years of proven experience.
  • Proficiency in Verilog and/or VHDL, C/C++, and SystemVerilog.
  • Knowledge of at least one high-speed interface protocol such as PCIe, CXL, NVLINK, IB, or Ethernet.
  • Experience with low-speed protocols like I2C, I3C, SPI, UART, and BMC interaction in server platforms.
  • Working knowledge of CPU-GPU coherency, preferably ARM CHI coherency protocol.
  • Experience with UVM verification environments and scripting with Perl, Python, and C/C++.

Responsibilities

  • Support multiple emulation environments using the latest emulation techniques.
  • Bring up GPUs, SOCs, Switch, and NIC on emulation while root causing system level test failures.
  • Verify high-speed protocols like PCIe, CXL, NVLINK, IB, and Ethernet.
  • Debug issues related to CPU and GPU coherency.
  • Collaborate with design, DV, power, silicon validation, performance, and software teams.
  • Lead emulation vendors to debug issues using various tools.
  • Write monitors and checkers to aid in debugging hardware test issues and firmware/software bring-up.

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.
