Job description

As a Formal Verification Engineer at NVIDIA, you will play a crucial role in verifying the build and implementation of leading GPUs. You will work closely with architects, designers, and verification teams to ensure the correctness of micro-architecture using formal verification tools. This position requires a strong understanding of GPU/CPU architectures and the ability to implement sophisticated verification techniques. You will be part of a diverse and innovative team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of technology.

Requirements

  • BS/MS/PhD or equivalent experience in CS/CE/EE/Mathematics with 5+ years of experience.
  • Understanding of GPU/CPU architectures and engineering workflows.
  • Experience with Verilog / System Verilog HDLs and the ability to understand sophisticated RTL quickly.
  • Experience with formal tools and knowledge of formal verification methodologies.
  • Strong analytical skills to tackle sophisticated problems.
  • Excellent command of scripting using TCL, Perl, and/or Python.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to optimally collaborate and work in a distributed team.

Responsibilities

  • Identify key behaviors for verification to write clear test plans for sophisticated designs.
  • Implement test plans using the latest formal techniques, including the development of environment assumptions, assertions, and cover properties.
  • Develop abstraction models to overcome complexity challenges and acquire full proofs or bounded proofs with sufficient coverage.
  • Drive formal tools to realize their best performance.
  • Debug RTL to identify causes of failure scenarios.
  • Contribute to flow and script development to improve team efficiency.
  • Articulate formal verification coverage to partners.

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.
