Senior Verification Engineer, PCIe

Job Title

Senior Verification Engineer, PCIe

Role Summary

Verify the design and implementation of next-generation PCIe controllers used in NVIDIA GPUs and SoCs. Work on IP and sub-system level verification, developing verification infrastructure, tests, and coverage-driven verification environments.

Collaborate with architects, RTL designers, and pre- and post-silicon teams to ensure correctness and quality of PCIe controller implementations.

Experience Level

Senior - typically 5+ years of relevant verification experience.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Plan and execute verification for ASIC design, architecture, golden models and micro-architecture of PCIe controllers at IP and sub-system levels.
• Design and build reusable bus functional models (BFMs), monitors, checkers and scoreboards following coverage-driven verification methodology.
• Define verification scope, develop test plans and tests, and implement verification infrastructure.
• Create and run constrained-random and directed tests to exercise functional coverage goals.
• Debug functional failures, analyze root causes, and track issues to closure with design teams.
• Collaborate with architects, designers, and silicon verification teams across pre- and post-silicon phases.

Requirements

Summary of must-have and nice-to-have qualifications.

Must-have:

• 5+ years of relevant verification experience.
• Experience in verification at Unit / Sub-system / SoC level; expertise in Verilog and SystemVerilog.
• Proven experience verifying IP or interconnect protocols (for example PCIe, USB, SATA).
• Experience developing and working in functional-coverage-based constrained-random verification environments.
• Familiarity with DV methodologies such as UVM or VMM and industry-standard simulation and debug tools.

Nice-to-have:

• Strong knowledge of PCIe protocol (Gen3 and above) and system-level PCIe/CXL architecture.
• Scripting or software experience (Perl, Python or similar).
• Strong debugging, analytical, and interpersonal/teamwork skills.

Education Requirements

B.Tech. or M.Tech. degree, or equivalent practical experience.
