Job description

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities which are hard to solve, that only we can pursue, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human inventiveness and intelligence.

The NVIDIA System-On-Chip (SOC) group is looking for an experienced ASIC Verification Engineer! In this position you will have the chance to create a high-level and broad impact at NVIDIA working on a system-level IP responsible for measuring performance on multiple projects. Your focus will be on verifying and improving the related verification methodologies for the corresponding design (RTL). For this position, you should have real passion for verification methodologies and implementation that enable high quality system-level IP design and robust verification at multiple environment levels (e.g., unit, sub-system, and SOC).

What you'll be doing:

• Design and maintain the unit level/sub-system Verification environment.
• Understand the architecture specifications, develop and carry out the test plan to verify the design.
• Create UVM components, sequences, tests and scoreboards.
• Sign off on the verification efforts with very high-quality code and functional coverage.
• Launch regressions, resolve the issues, and make forward progress towards achieving the DV milestone targets.
• Automate the manual steps involved in launching build, regression, and triage.
• Collaborate with architects, designers, and software engineers to achieve project goals.
• Proactively contribute to improving the efficiency of the testbenches by embracing the latest techniques.
• Responsible for end-to-end verification of IPs, ensuring the highest quality delivery.

What we need to see:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience) with 3 years of relevant experience.
• Proficient with System Verilog, UVM required and OOPS based programming.
• Strong coding skills in Python or other industry-standard scripting languages.
• Strong understanding of RTL design (Verilog).
• Good understanding of computer architecture fundamentals.
• Familiarity with verification tools such as VCS or equivalent simulation tools, and debug tools like Verdi.

With industry-leading salaries and a generous benefits package, we are widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. The most forward-thinking engineers in the world do their life’s work at NVIDIA. If you're creative and autonomous, with a real passion for technology, we want to hear from you.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 136,000 USD - 218,500 USD for Level 3, and 168,000 USD - 264,500 USD for Level 4.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until June 13, 2026.
