Senior Verification Engineer, PCIe

Job Title

Senior Verification Engineer, PCIe

Role Summary

Verify design and implementation of next-generation PCIe controllers at IP and sub-system levels for NVIDIA GPUs and SoCs. Work on verification planning, infrastructure, and execution using modern methodologies and collaborate with architects, designers, and pre/post-silicon teams.

This work directly affects GPU and AI product lines.

Experience Level

Senior - 4+ years of relevant verification experience.

Responsibilities

Primary verification responsibilities include test planning, environment and model development, and cross-team coordination.

• Verify ASIC design, architecture, golden models, and micro-architecture of PCIe controllers at IP and sub-system levels using verification methodologies such as UVM.
• Build reusable bus functional models, monitors, checkers, and scoreboards following coverage-driven verification methodology.
• Define verification scope, develop test plans and tests, and implement verification infrastructure to validate correctness.
• Collaborate with architects, RTL designers, and pre- and post-silicon teams to resolve issues and close verification gaps.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience.

• 4+ years of verification experience at Unit, Sub-system, or SoC level.
• Proficient in Verilog and SystemVerilog.
• Experience verifying IP or interconnect protocols (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:

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

Education Requirements

B.Tech. or M.Tech. (or equivalent practical experience).
