NVIDIA is seeking best‑in‑class ASIC Verification Engineers to verify the world’s leading GPUs. In this role, you will be doing unit level verification of the process scheduling and system interface hardware of the GPU. This position will be working across many NVIDIA teams from software, to architecture, design, methodology, and more. The GPU is used in applications from consumer graphics, through self‑driving cars, to artificial intelligence, all of which you will be involved in and learn about. We have crafted a team of extraordinary people stretching around the globe, whose mission is to push the frontiers of what is possible today and define the methodology for verifying the future of computing.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Work on a unit level testbench, working on directed and random tests and test infrastructure, and contributing to the future direction of the methodology for the testbench
• Partner closely with RTL and architecture teams to help refine the microarchitecture plans to ensure that changes to the design are verifiable
• Architect and plan the verification strategy and execution for sub‑system features impacting your unit
• Support post‑silicon validation activities
• Harness cutting‑edge AI to accelerate testbench development, task automation, debugging and problem‑solving in a paradigm‑shifting way

What We Need To See

• BS or MS in electrical engineering or computer engineering or similar area (or equivalent experience)
• 5+ years of verification experience
