Senior Asic Verification Engineer, Coherent High Speed Interconnect

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Toronto, ON

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior ASIC Verification Engineer to verify high-speed coherent interconnects for their SoCs and GPUs. This role involves architecting test benches, developing verification infrastructure, and collaborating with design teams using methodologies like System Verilog and UVM. Experience with industry standard protocols like PCIe and CXL is beneficial.

What you'd actually do

  1. In this position, you will be responsible for verification of high-speed coherent interconnect design, architecture and golden models.
  2. You will be responsible for micro-architecture using sophisticated verification methodologies.
  3. As a member of our verification team, you'll understand the design & implementation, define the verification scope, develop the verification infrastructure (Testbenches, BFMs, Checkers, Monitors), complete test/coverage plans, and verify the correctness of the design.
  4. This role will collaborate with architects, designers, emulation, and silicon verification teams to accomplish your tasks.
