Custom SOC IP Verification Engineer

Overview

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Custom SOC/IP Verification Engineer to verify the next generation SoC and IP solutions. The role focuses on cache coherency protocols and AMBA-based interconnects (AXI, ACE, CHI) within high‑performance ASIC designs.

• Verify ASIC design for various processing blocks within an SoC, focusing on cache coherency protocols and complex memory hierarchies.
• Develop and complete test plans for cache coherency verification using UVM‑based environments.
• Design and implement constrained‑random and directed System Verilog test benches targeting multi‑level cache hierarchies and interconnect fabric.
• 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.

• B.S. or M.S. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 8+ years of ASIC verification experience, particularly in cache coherency or memory subsystem verification.
• Strong knowledge of System Verilog and UVM methodology.
• Hands‑on experience with AMBA protocols, especially AXI, ACE, and CHI.
• Familiarity with SoC architectures, memory models, and CPU‑cache interactions.
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl, TCL) and working knowledge of C/C++ for testbench or model integration.

• Experience with formal verification or assertion‑based verification (SVA).
• Knowledge of RISC‑V or ARM architecture and system‑level cache subsystems.
• Exposure to coherency modeling tools, verification IPs, or emulation platforms (e.g., Palladium, Veloce).
• Experience in GPU‑based verification.
