Senior ASIC Verification Engineer
NVIDIAJob Title
Senior ASIC Verification Engineer
Role Summary
Verify design and implementation of high-performance GPU ASIC blocks, focusing on correctness of microarchitecture, architecture, and golden models. Work on a global ASIC Verification team collaborating with architects, designers, and pre-/post-silicon teams to deliver production silicon.
Experience Level
Senior - typically 5+ years of relevant ASIC verification experience.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include developing verification infrastructure and ensuring design correctness for assigned units.
- Define verification scope and create test plans for assigned blocks.
- Develop and maintain verification environments and testbenches for unit- and system-level verification.
- Verify ASIC design, architecture, golden models, and micro-architecture using advanced methodologies (e.g., UVM or equivalent).
- Collaborate with architects, RTL designers, and pre-/post-silicon teams to debug and close verification issues.
- Analyze coverage and assertions to drive verification closure.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience; a few desirable items listed separately.
- Must-have: Experience with random stimulus, functional coverage, and assertion-based verification methodologies.
- Must-have: Experience with simulation and debug tools (e.g., VCS or equivalent; debuggers such as Debussy, GDB).
- Must-have: Proficiency in SystemVerilog or a similar hardware verification language.
- Must-have: Programming experience in C++ and solid understanding of OOP, data structures, and algorithms.
- Must-have: Strong fundamentals in computer architecture and digital design; excellent debugging and analytical skills.
- Nice-to-have: Prior experience with processor pipeline verification.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (EE), Computer Science (CS), or Computer Engineering (CE), or equivalent practical experience.
