NVIDIA is hiring a senior, hands-on engineer to lead technical innovation in our Design Verification (DV) automation infrastructure. This role requires a strong design/verification background combined with a proactive approach — identifying inefficiencies, proposing creative solutions, and implementing them with high ownership and impact. You will directly influence how verification is performed across NVIDIA’s next-generation Networking chips, enabling more scalable, efficient, and robust flows for complex ASICs powering the AI revolution.

What you'll be doing:

  • Lead the development of advanced verification automation tools, regression flows, and debug infrastructure.

  • Identify key challenges and inefficiencies in current DV methodologies and proactively propose and implement improvements.

  • Work closely with DV engineers, design teams, and tool developers to ensure solutions are practical and impactful.

  • Balance innovation with hands-on engagement in daily DV issues — keeping a strong connection to real-world challenges and support needs.

  • Act as a technical leader within the team, driving discussions, mentoring peers, and crafting strategic directions for DV automation.

What we need to see:

  • B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering (or related field).

  • 5+ years of experience in Design Verification/Chip Design, with a deep understanding of simulation, testbenches, regression infrastructure, and debug.

  • Proven ability to identify inefficiencies or recurring issues in DV workflows and develop automation scripts or tools to streamline processes and improve efficiency.

  • Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.

  • Proficiency in Python and Linux.

  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills — comfortable working across engineering teams.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Experience with contemporary DV methodologies, such as intelligent test planning or advanced debug workflows (e.g., automated log parsing, waveform analysis, or triage tooling).

  • Familiarity with recent industry trends in design verification, including AI-assisted debugging, smart triage, or LLM-based tools.

  • Proven ability to craft and deliver custom automation flows that scale to large regressions or complex simulation environments.

  • Hands-on contribution to DV infrastructure development within CAD/DA teams or large SoC projects.

  • Comfort working across teams, collecting feedback, and turning it into practical, adopted tooling.
