Verification Engineer, Low Power

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself. Our invention of the GPU sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. Today, research in artificial intelligence is booming worldwide, which calls for highly scalable and massively parallel computation horsepower that NVIDIA GPUs excel.

NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to solve, that only we can address, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work , to amplify human creativity and intelligence. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join our diverse team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world!

What you’ll be doing:

• Work on structural and functional verification of low power aspects of NVIDIA’s family of chips.

• Come up with test plans and coverage plans of these features.

• Write test cases, test bench components like assertions and coverage points, and own verification convergence.

• Collaborate with system level and unit level teams to cover the features well from functional, electrical, performance, and noise aspects.

• Work with architects, designers, pre- and post-silicon verification teams, synthesis, timing and back-end teams to accomplish your tasks.

• Validate the effectiveness of the low power features on silicon.

What we need to see:

• BS/MS or equivalent experience with specialization related to Low Power techniques and Verification.

• 2+ years of experience.

• Fundamental understanding of power basics including transistor-level leakage/dynamic characteristics of VLSI circuits.

• Knowledge of power intent formats - UPF/CPF.

• Experience in Static Power check - tools like VCLP/MVRC or similar.

• Hands-on knowledge in Power aware dynamic verification - NLP/MVSIM or similar tools.

• Experience in design and verification tools (VCS or equivalent simulation tools, Verdi or other debug tools).

• Familiarity with low power design techniques such as multi VT, Clock gating, Power gating, and Dynamic Voltage-Frequency Scaling (DVFS).

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Good software programming skills. Python/Perl/C++ preferred.

• Confident debugging and problem-solving skills.

• Good communication skills and ability & desire to work as a great teammate.

With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, Nvidia is widely considered to be one of the most desirable employers in the world. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
