Verification Engineer - PCIe

Job Title

Verification Engineer - PCIe

Role Summary

Responsible for verification of PCIe controllers at the IP and sub-system level for NVIDIA GPUs and SoCs. Deliver verification architecture, testbench components, and coverage-driven verification to ensure design correctness.

Work with architects, designers, and pre/post-silicon teams to define verification scope, build infrastructure, and validate implementations.

Experience Level

Entry-level; 2+ years of relevant verification experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Verify ASIC design, architecture, golden models and micro-architecture of PCIe controllers at IP/sub-system levels using 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.
• Drive coverage closure, debug failures, and perform root-cause analysis.
• Collaborate with architects, designers, and pre- and post-silicon verification teams.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• Experience in verification at Unit/Sub-system/SoC level using Verilog and SystemVerilog.
• Experience with functional-coverage-based constrained-random verification.
• Familiarity with DV methodologies such as UVM or VMM and industry-standard simulation and debug tools.
• Background verifying IP or interconnect protocols (PCIe, USB, SATA).
• Strong debugging and analytical skills; ability to develop verification infrastructure and testbenches.

Nice-to-have:

• Knowledge of PCIe protocol (Gen3 and above).
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog testbench development; scripting in Perl, Python or similar.
• Good interpersonal skills and ability to work effectively on a team.

Education Requirements

B.Tech. or M.Tech. degree specified in the posting; specific field of study not stated. The posting also specifies 2+ years of relevant experience.
