TL;DR · Senior Staff Engineer, GPU Design Verification (Subsystems)

The Senior Staff Engineer, GPU Design Verification (Subsystems) joins the GPU Design Verification team to shape the verification of next-generation mobile GPU subsystems. In this high-impact individual contributor role, you will contribute to verification strategies, develop comprehensive verification plans, and define coverage metrics aligned with architectural specifications. You will architect and maintain scalable verification testbenches, developing test code in parallel with RTL. Key responsibilities include applying constrained-random testing, coverage-driven verification, and assertion-based techniques to validate complex block and subsystem behaviors. You will utilize SystemVerilog, UVM, and C++, along with Python and Perl for automation. The role focuses on ensuring functional correctness and performance integrity for mobile GPU subsystems, solving complex debug issues and ensuring seamless integration across multiple blocks, interfaces, and data paths.

What you'll do

  • Develop comprehensive verification plans, goals, coverage metrics, and sign-off criteria for GPU subsystems.
  • Architect and implement scalable verification testbenches using SystemVerilog, UVM, and C++.
  • Apply constrained-random testing, coverage-driven verification, and assertion-based techniques to validate complex behaviors.
  • Create targeted test scenarios to stress interactions across multiple blocks, interfaces, and data paths.
  • Analyze failures to identify root causes and drive complex debug and issue resolution.
  • Advance verification methodologies, tools, and automation to improve overall efficiency and quality.
  • Mentor engineers and stay updated on emerging verification technologies and methodologies.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science/Engineering with 10+ years of experience, Master’s with 8+ years, or Ph.D. with 6+ years.
  • 8+ years of hands-on experience in GPU, CPU, or advanced semiconductor design verification.
  • Strong understanding of computer architecture and GPU subsystem design, including block-level and subsystem-level integration.
  • Strong programming skills in C/C++, Python, Perl, or equivalent.
  • Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM, including constrained-random testing, functional coverage, and assertions.
  • Experience building configurable UVM testbenches for reuse across design hierarchies.
  • Proven track record of achieving multiple first-pass silicon success.
  • Applicants must be authorized to access information subject to U.S. export control laws.
