TL;DR · Senior ASIC Verification Engineer, GPU

As a Senior ASIC Verification Engineer - GPU, you will join a specialized team to perform unit level verification of process scheduling and system interface hardware for leading GPUs. Your daily responsibilities include developing unit level testbenches with directed and random tests, creating test infrastructure, and defining future methodology directions. You will partner with RTL and architecture teams to refine microarchitecture plans, architect verification strategies for sub-system features, and support post-silicon validation activities. The role requires expertise in SystemVerilog, UVM, assertion-based verification, and object oriented programming concepts. You will also utilize advanced tools including Semiformal Verification and AI-driven automation for debugging and testbench development. This position addresses the technical challenges of verifying complex hardware components used across consumer graphics, self-driving cars, and artificial intelligence applications within a high-performance computing environment.

What you'll do

  • Perform unit level verification of process scheduling and system interface hardware for GPUs.
  • Develop and maintain testbenches using directed tests, random tests, and custom test infrastructure.
  • Collaborate with RTL and architecture teams to refine microarchitecture plans for verifiability.
  • Architect and plan the verification strategy and execution for specific sub-system features.
  • Support post-silicon validation activities to ensure hardware reliability.
  • Utilize AI tools to accelerate testbench development, task automation, and debugging processes.
  • Contribute to the future direction of verification methodologies for GPU components.

What we're looking for

  • BS or MS in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a similar field (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of verification experience.
  • Experience with Computer Architecture, ASIC design, and verification methodology.
  • Proficiency in SystemVerilog, test planning, coverage closure, and testbench design.
  • Understanding of object-oriented programming concepts.
  • Strong communication, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
  • Preferred experience with UVM, assertion-based verification, and Semiformal Verification (SFV).
  • Experience applying AI to solve problems or implementing agentic AI flows.
