ASIC Verification Engineer

Job Title

ASIC Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Plan and implement functional verification for ASIC IP/cluster/SoC blocks used in NVIDIA Graphics and Tegra products. The role focuses on creating regression plans, achieving functional and code coverage, and coordinating pre-silicon and post-silicon validation and debug.

Experience Level

Entry-level — typically 1+ years of relevant ASIC or RTL design and verification experience.

Responsibilities

Primary verification and validation responsibilities include:

• Own ASIC verification of IP/cluster RTL and deliver verification signoff for assigned blocks.
• Develop and execute regression plans; drive functional and code coverage closure.
• Collaborate with hardware architects and designers to inform implementation choices.
• Work with performance verification and formal teams to augment verification strategies.
• Support FPGA and software teams to ensure software is exercised and tested.
• Participate in pre-silicon validation (simulations, XPROP, GLS) and post-silicon debug.

Requirements

Must-have and preferred qualifications:

• Must-have: 1+ years of design or verification experience, with ASIC verification on at least one project.
• Must-have: Experience with simulation and debug tools (e.g., VCS or equivalent, Debussy, GDB).
• Preferred: Exposure to SystemVerilog and UVM-based methodology.
• Preferred: Scripting skills (Python, Perl, shell) for testbench development and automation.
• Preferred: Knowledge of memory controllers or verification experience for IP/clusters that access memory.
• Preferred: Strong debugging, problem-solving skills, and ability to work effectively in a team.

Education Requirements

BS or MS degree (technical/engineering) or equivalent practical experience. The posting explicitly lists "BS / MS or equivalent experience."
