About the role

Senior System Verification Engineer for NVIDIA's Emulation division, on-site in Santa Clara, CA. Focus on system-level verification across emulation environments, bring-up of GPUs/SoCs, and collaboration with multiple internal teams to debug and verify high- and low-speed protocols and CPU-GPU coherency.

Responsibilities

  • We support multiple emulation environments using the latest emulation techniques (C/C++ DPI Transactors, SV assertions, Coverage, Power Estimation, SpeedBridges, Accelerated UVM Testbenches).
  • Bring up GPUs, SOCs, Switch, NIC on emulation, root causing system level test fails and emulator environment issues.
  • Bring-up and verify High Speed protocols like PCIe/CXL/NVLINK/IB/Ethernet etc …. Low speed protocols like I2C/I3C/SPI/UART
  • Bring-up/debug issues related to CPU and GPU Coherency
  • We have continual collaboration with Design, DV, Power, Silicon Validation, Performance, and Software teams.
  • Work constructively leading emulation vendors to debug issues using various tools.
  • Write monitors and checkers that aid debug in HW test issues and FW/SW bring-up

Qualifications

  • M.S or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering or related field with 8+ years of proven experience.
  • Proficient in Verilog and/or VHDL, C/C++ and SystemVerilog.
  • Protocol knowledge of at least one of the High-speed interfaces: PCIe/CXL/NVLINK/IB/Ethernet etc ….
  • Low-speed protocols like I2C/I3C/SPI/UART and BMC interaction in server platforms
  • Working Knowledge of CPU - GPU coherency
  • Experience with UVM verification environments and scripting with Perl, Python and C/C++ is essential.
  • Be familiar with hierarchical design approach, top-down design, SoC and system level verification.
  • Zebu emulation experience with SOC/CPU
