GPU Core Pipeline IP Verification Engineer
NVIDIAJob Title
GPU Core Pipeline IP Verification Engineer
Role Summary
Join the ASIC verification team to verify IP-level control subsystems for NVIDIA GPUs. The role focuses on developing verification infrastructure, tests, and coverage-driven methodologies to ensure correct RTL implementation of graphics and compute features.
Work closely with architects, designers, and verification teammates to define test plans, exercise micro-architecture corner cases, and close functional and code coverage.
Experience Level
Entry-level (approximately 2+ years of relevant experience recommended).
Responsibilities
The core responsibilities include IP-level functional verification, test development, and collaboration with hardware teams.
- Verify GPU graphics and compute features at the IP level.
- Develop test plans, tests, and verification infrastructure using constrained-random and coverage-driven methodologies (UVM/VMM style).
- Create and use golden models to validate micro-architecture against specifications.
- Implement functional and code coverage strategies and drive coverage closure.
- Run simulations, debug failures, and analyze RTL behavior using industry verification tools.
- Collaborate with hardware architects and designers to resolve design and implementation issues.
- Maintain and extend verification environments and automation.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience for successful performance in this role.
- Familiarity with Verilog, C++, and object-oriented programming concepts.
- Experience in unit-level verification and test planning.
- Experience developing and working with functional-coverage-based constrained-random verification environments.
- Good understanding of computer architecture concepts.
- Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
- Exposure to industry-standard verification tools for simulation and debug.
Nice-to-have:
- Knowledge of SystemVerilog or similar hardware verification languages and familiarity with UVM/VMM methodologies.
- Prior experience in 3D graphics processing or processor verification.
- Proficiency in C/C++ and scripting languages such as Python or Perl.
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
Education Requirements
B.Tech. or M.Tech. degree (technical discipline) is specified in the posting; the role expects approximately 2+ years of relevant experience.
