THE ROLE:

As a GPU Design Verification Engineer on the verification team, you will work with leading industry tools and design & verification concepts to achieve full functional, performance closure on a variety of digital design blocks which are a part of the Graphics Core IP (GFXIP).

THE PERSON:

You have a passion for modern, complex processor architecture, digital design, and verification in general. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites/timezones. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Work closely with architects, RTL designers, firmware, software, and validation teams to understand feature requirements and verification objectives.
• Define verification strategies, methodologies, and coverage plans for complex architectural features.
• Develop comprehensive verification plans accounting for feature interactions, system-level use cases, software workflows, and firmware dependencies.
• Architect and enhance reusable UVM verification environments, scoreboards, checkers, generators, and coverage models.
• Develop constrained-random, directed, and scenario-based test suites.
• Drive verification closure and signoff criteria, including functional, code, assertion, and performance coverage.
• Debug test failures to determine the root cause; work with RTL and firmware engineers to resolve design defects and correct any test issues

• Develop and deploy AI-driven and agentic verification workflows to improve verification productivity, automate testcase generation, coverage gap analysis, debug triage, regression management, and root-cause identification.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Proficient in IP level ASIC verification
• Proficient in developing UVM testbenches and working in Linux and Windows environment

• Experienced with Verilog, System Verilog, C/C++
• Developing UVM based verification frameworks and testbenches, processes and flows
• Experience with constrained random verification, functional coverage and assertions
