TL;DR · GPU Design Verification Engineer

As a GPU Design Verification Engineer within the GPU ASICS Engineering team, you will architect, design, implement, and verify the structure, performance, and power of GPU cores. You will be responsible for pre- and post-silicon verification to ensure Graphics IP correctness while meeting specific performance goals. Your daily work involves creating and maintaining verification test benches in SystemVerilog and UVM, developing advanced testing frameworks to replicate real-world system integration conditions, and building automation for continuous integration. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop test methodologies and execute various forms of system-level content, including gaming benchmarks and standards compliance suites. Required technical skills include SystemVerilog, UVM, Verilog or VHDL, C/C++, and experience with constrained random and functional coverage. You may also utilize tools like Python, Make, and Airflow while working with emulation platforms such as Veloce or Palladium.

What you'll do

  • Architect, design, implement, and verify the structure and performance of GPU hardware and features.
  • Create and maintain verification test benches and environments using System Verilog and UVM.
  • Develop advanced testing frameworks to replicate real-world system integration conditions.
  • Execute system-level test content including gaming benchmarks and standards compliance suites.
  • Build automation for continuous integration and testing based on the latest GPU IP.
  • Analyze test results and data predictions to track performance benchmarks and identify issues.
  • Participate in GPU micro-architecture reviews and define test methodologies with cross-functional teams.
  • Write technical documentation and feature descriptions for assigned projects.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with 4+ years of relevant experience.
  • Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with 3+ years of relevant experience.
  • PhD in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with 2+ years of relevant experience.
  • Proficiency in System Verilog, UVM, Verilog, VHDL, and C/C++.
  • Experience in constrained random, functional coverage development, and design debug.
  • At least 2 years of relevant GPU experience.
  • Exposure to emulation or prototyping platforms such as Veloce, Palladium, Zebu, or FPGA.
  • Skills in test planning, scripting, simulation, and problem solving.
