Job description

NVIDIA is seeking talented Senior Verification Engineers to join their ASIC Verification team, focusing on the design and implementation of industry-leading SoCs and GPUs. This role involves ensuring first-pass silicon success and collaborating with architects and designers in a dynamic, innovation-driven environment. The team works on groundbreaking automotive and gaming console chips, emphasizing the verification of complex logic and the use of advanced methodologies. Candidates will have the opportunity to innovate by integrating AI-driven workflows into the verification cycle.

Requirements

  • BS or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science; advanced degrees (MS, PhD) are a plus.
  • 5+ years of experience in ASIC verification-related fields at both the IP and SoC level.
  • Proven experience in building UVM testbenches from scratch and applying constrained random methodology in a production environment.
  • High proficiency in C/C++ with the ability to develop architectural golden models and hardware-software co-verification tests.
  • Deep domain knowledge in Low-Speed IOs (QSPI, UART, I2C), High-Speed IOs (Ethernet), AXI/APB interconnects, DMA controllers, and Memory Controllers.
  • Expert skills in assertion-based design checks (SVA), code coverage, functional coverage, and formal test plan documentation.
  • Strong debugging and analytical skills with a methodical approach to resolving complex SoC-level corner cases.
  • Professional-grade scripting abilities in Python, Perl, or TCL to automate build flows and regressions.

Responsibilities

  • Verify the design and implementation of the industry's leading SoCs, ensuring first-pass silicon success.
  • Lead the verification of the ASIC design, architecture, golden models, and micro-architecture using sophisticated methodologies such as UVM.
  • Deeply understand the design, define the verification scope, and develop robust verification infrastructure to verify the correctness of complex logic.
  • Collaborate with architects, designers, and both pre- and post-silicon verification teams to drive comprehensive coverage.
  • Innovate by bringing AI and LLM-driven workflows into the verification cycle to optimize testbench generation, debug productivity, and coverage closure.

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.
