Senior ASIC Verification Engineer — Coherent High-Speed Interconnect
NVIDIAJob Title
Senior ASIC Verification Engineer — Coherent High-Speed Interconnect
Role Summary
Responsible for functional verification of high-speed coherent interconnect IP used in NVIDIA SoCs and GPUs. The role focuses on verification architecture, micro-architecture validation, golden models, and infrastructure development within a cross-functional verification team.
Works closely with architects, RTL designers, emulation, and silicon teams to ensure correctness and deliver high-performance interconnects.
Experience Level
Senior level; requires 3+ years of relevant verification experience.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include verifying architecture and implementation, building verification infrastructure, and coordinating with cross-functional teams.
- Define verification scope and develop test and coverage plans for interconnect IP.
- Design and implement verification infrastructure: testbenches, BFMs, monitors, and checkers.
- Develop and execute randomized and directed tests using functional coverage and assertion-based verification.
- Create and validate golden models and perform micro-architecture verification.
- Collaborate with architects, designers, emulation, and silicon verification teams to investigate and resolve issues.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team processes and documentation.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills, tools experience, and interpersonal abilities.
- 3+ years of ASIC verification experience (unit-level and system-level).
- Experience architecting testbench environments and developing UVM/SystemVerilog testbenches from scratch.
- Proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM; experience with assertion-based verification and functional coverage.
- C++ programming and scripting skills.
- Experience with simulation and debug tools (e.g., VCS, Debussy, GDB) and emulation workflows.
- Prior experience with coherent high-speed interconnect design or verification; familiarity with protocols such as PCIe, CXL, or CHI.
- Strong debugging, analytical, communication, and collaboration skills.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's or Master’s degree, or equivalent practical experience. (No specific fields or certifications were specified.)
