Senior Verification Engineer, PCIE
NVIDIAJob Title
Senior Verification Engineer, PCIE
Role Summary
Verify design and implementation of next-generation PCI Express controllers for NVIDIA GPUs and SoCs. Focus on IP and sub-system level verification, verification infrastructure, and coverage-driven validation.
Collaborate with architects, designers, and pre- and post-silicon teams to define verification scope, develop test plans and environments, and ensure design correctness.
Experience Level
Senior — typically 5+ years of relevant verification experience.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Plan and execute verification for PCIe controllers at IP and sub-system levels using industry-standard methodologies (e.g., UVM).
- Develop reusable bus functional models, monitors, checkers, and scoreboards following coverage-driven verification practices.
- Analyze design specifications and implementations to define verification scope and develop test plans and tests.
- Build and maintain verification infrastructure and golden models to validate micro-architecture and system behavior.
- Collaborate with architects, RTL designers, and silicon teams to debug issues and close verification coverage gaps.
Requirements
Must-have skills and experience:
- 5+ years of relevant verification experience.
- Experience in verification at Unit / Sub-system / SoC level.
- Expertise in Verilog and SystemVerilog.
- Experience verifying IP or interconnect protocols (for example PCIe, USB, SATA).
- Experience developing functional-coverage-based constrained-random verification environments.
- Familiarity with DV methodologies such as UVM/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 programming experience (Perl, Python, or similar).
- Strong debugging, analytical, and interpersonal skills.
Education Requirements
B.Tech. / M.Tech. or equivalent practical experience.
