TL;DR

As a Verification Engineer at NVIDIA, you will join our dynamic team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of technology in areas such as consumer graphics, self-driving cars, and artificial intelligence. Your primary responsibility will be to verify the design and implementation of memory subsystems or high-speed interconnects for mobile SoCs and GPUs using advanced verification methodologies. This includes understanding complex designs, defining verification scope, developing testbenches, executing coverage plans, and collaborating with architects, designers, and emulation teams. Ideal candidates should have a recent degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields, along with experience in architecting test bench environments, random stimulus verification, System Verilog, C++, and design tools like VCS and Debussy.
