Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Digital Design Verification Engineer to verify the design and implementation of cutting-edge SerDes IPs. This role involves working with a best-in-class team to deliver high-quality IPs for gaming, artificial intelligence, deep learning, and autonomous driving. The engineer will develop and execute verification plans, debug verification environments, and collaborate with various teams to ensure successful project delivery. This position offers the opportunity to work with advanced technologies in a dynamic and inclusive environment.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • At least 5 years of relevant design verification experience at the unit, subsystem, or SoC level.
  • Hands-on experience with Cadence Palladium or a comparable hardware emulation platform.
  • Strong C/C++ programming skills with experience developing verification models and test infrastructure.
  • Strong SystemVerilog skills and experience building verification environments using UVM.
  • Experience with constrained-random stimulus, functional coverage, assertions, and coverage closure.
  • Strong debugging and analytical skills.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute verification plans for SerDes digital designs, golden models, and microarchitecture.
  • Develop, bring up, and debug SerDes verification environments on Cadence Palladium.
  • Write and maintain C/C++ reference models, stimulus generators, checkers, and test code.
  • Investigate failures across RTL, verification infrastructure, C/C++ models, and RNM models.
  • Collaborate with architects, digital and analog designers, and verification teams to define verification scope.

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.
