Custom SOC IP Verification Engineer

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Custom SOC/IP Verification Engineer to verify the next generation SoC and IP solutions. The role requires expertise in fabric and interconnect verification, spanning both IP and SoC integration, and a deep knowledge of System Verilog and UVM.

• Responsible for ASIC design verification of fabric and interconnect IP blocks as well as full chip integration, covering DMA, routing, arbitration, ordering, flow control, and protocol compliance.
• Develop and implement test plans for fabric and interconnect verification of SoCs using UVM‑based environments, targeting both IP‑level and system‑level scenarios.
• Design and implement constrained‑random and directed System Verilog test benches targeting interconnect fabrics, network‑on‑chip (NoC) topologies, and multi‑agent SoC integrations.
• Collaborate extensively with Architecture, SW/FW, Design, Modeling, Emulation, and Post‑Silicon Validation teams to ensure comprehensive first‑time‑right verification plans and execution.
• Drive the development of silicon and platform verification strategies and methodologies for fabric and interconnect subsystems.

• B.S. or M.S. degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 6+ years of experience in ASIC verification, with a strong focus on fabric, interconnect, or network‑on‑chip verification at both IP and full chip levels.
• Strong knowledge of System Verilog and UVM methodology.
• Hands‑on experience with industry‑standard interconnect and bus protocols (e.g., AMBA AXI, CHI, or equivalent), with a solid understanding of ordering, coherency, and flow control semantics.
• Familiarity with SoC architectures, NoC topologies, and multi‑initiator/multi‑target interconnect designs.
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl, TCL).

• Knowledge of performance verification and bandwidth/latency analysis for interconnect fabrics.
• Exposure to verification IPs for bus protocols, or emulation platforms (e.g., Palladium, Veloce) for full‑chip fabric validation.
• Experience in GPU or AI accelerator SoC interconnect verification is desirable.
• Experience with formal verification or assertion‑based verification (SVA) applied to fabric and protocol properties.
