Verification Engineer, PCIe
NVIDIAJob Title
Verification Engineer, PCIe
Role Summary
Verify the design and implementation of PCIe controllers for NVIDIA GPUs and SoCs at the IP and sub-system levels. Build verification infrastructure, tests, and coverage-driven environments, and collaborate with architects, designers, and pre/post-silicon teams.
This role focuses on practical verification deliverables rather than high-level strategy.
Experience Level
Entry-level - 1+ 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 modern verification methodologies (e.g., 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 against specifications.
- Collaborate with architects, designers, and pre- and post-silicon verification teams to resolve issues and close coverage gaps.
Requirements
Minimum qualifications and technical skills.
Must-have:- 1+ years of relevant verification experience.
- Experience in verification at Unit/Sub-system/SoC level; strong Verilog and SystemVerilog skills.
- Experience verifying IP or interconnect protocols (for example PCIe, USB, SATA).
- Experience developing and using functional-coverage-based constrained-random verification environments.
- Familiarity with DV methodologies such as UVM/VMM and industry-standard simulation and debug tools.
- Deep knowledge of PCIe protocol (Gen3 and above) and system-level PCIe/CXL architecture.
- Scripting or software skills (Perl, Python, or similar).
- Strong debugging, analytical, and interpersonal skills.
Education Requirements
B.Tech. or M.Tech. (or equivalent practical experience).
