Verification Engineer - PCIe
NVIDIAJob Title
Verification Engineer - PCIe
Role Summary
Verify the design and implementation of next-generation PCI Express controllers at the IP and sub-system level for GPUs and SoCs. Work on functional and coverage-driven verification, testbench and infrastructure development, and collaborate with architects, designers, and pre-/post-silicon teams.
Experience Level
Entry-level / Early Career - typically requires 2+ years of relevant verification experience.
Responsibilities
Primary verification duties and collaboration points.
- Verify ASIC design, architecture, golden models, and micro-architecture of PCIe controllers at IP and sub-system levels.
- Develop test plans, constrained-random tests, and verification scope based on specifications and implementation.
- Build reusable bus functional models, monitors, checkers, and scoreboards following coverage-driven methodology.
- Implement and maintain verification infrastructure and testbenches using industry methodologies and tools.
- Collaborate with architects, designers, and pre-/post-silicon teams to diagnose issues and close verification gaps.
Requirements
Must-have skills and relevant experience. Education details are summarized separately below.
- Experience in verification at unit, sub-system, or SoC level using Verilog and SystemVerilog.
- Experience verifying IP or interconnect protocols (e.g., PCIe, USB, SATA).
- Experience with functional coverage and constrained-random verification environments.
- Familiarity with DV methodologies such as UVM or VMM and industry-standard simulation/debug tools.
Nice-to-have:
- Knowledge of PCIe protocol (Gen3 and above).
- Proficiency in testbench development using SystemVerilog.
- Scripting or programming experience (Perl, Python, or similar).
- Strong debugging, analytical, and interpersonal skills.
Education Requirements
Requires a B.Tech. or M.Tech. degree and typically 2+ years of relevant experience. The posting does not specify particular fields of study or list certifications; equivalent practical experience is not explicitly mentioned.
