NVIDIAJob Title
ASIC Verification Engineer - New College Grad 2027
Role Summary
Verify the design and implementation of SoCs and GPUs with a focus on memory subsystem units and hardware/firmware interactions. Work on verification scope, infrastructure, and test plans to ensure correctness of micro-architecture and system behavior.
Collaborate across architects, designers, and software engineers to deliver robust verification environments and debug complex issues.
Experience Level
Entry-level (New college graduate). Ideal for candidates just completing or recently completed an undergraduate or graduate degree; suitable for early-career engineers.
Responsibilities
Primary verification responsibilities include:
- Verify design, architecture, and micro-architecture using advanced verification methodologies.
- Define verification scope and contribute to verification infrastructure for memory subsystem units.
- Verify firmware and hardware/firmware interaction behavior.
- Develop reusable verification components and verification plans.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate verification results and resolve issues.
Requirements
Required technical skills and experience.
- Knowledge of verification methodology and creating reusable verification components.
- Experience with random stimulus, functional coverage, and assertion-based verification methodologies.
- Proficiency in Object-Oriented programming using SystemVerilog.
- Exposure to simulation and debug tools (e.g., VCS or equivalent simulators; debug tools such as Debussy, GDB).
- Familiarity with UVM or equivalent verification frameworks.
- Strong debugging skills and problem-solving ability.
Nice-to-have:
- Prior verification experience with high-speed I/O protocols or memory coherence.
- Experience debugging embedded firmware (C or RISC-V assembly).
- Knowledge of embedded microcontrollers and/or RISC-V architecture.
- Experience writing detailed verification plans and coverage models.
Education Requirements
Pursuing or recently completed a BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
