Verification Engineer, CPU - New College Grad 2025

NVIDIA is currently seeking a Verification Engineer with strong CPU and verification fundamentals to work in NVIDIA's CPU verification team. NVIDIA builds CPUs that power the coming wave of self-driving cars with high-end SoCs such as Xavier (https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2016/09/28/xavier/). Xavier has a custom "Denver" class CPU which provides high-end performance while being aligned with stringent automotive standards such as ISO26262.

What you’ll be doing:

• Partner alongside forward-thinking engineers on NVIDIA's next generation CPU.

• You will verify micro-architecture/architecture features at unit level or subsystem or full chip testbenches including FPGA/Silicon.

• Work with cpu architects & design engineers in crafting verifiable designs.

What we need to see:

• You are completing a Bachelors or Masters in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, ECE or related field (or equivalent experience).

• ASIC or CPU verification experience.

• A knack for full stack development - from verifying sequences at SW simulator level, to getting the overall end-to-end sequence working on silicon with a full software stack.

• Strong verification fundamentals and the ability to balance working with both SW simulators & silicon.

• Proficiency in CPU architecture (ARM knowledge is desirable), Verilog, SystemVerilog and possess strong debugging skills.

• Display dedication, enthusiasm and proactive action with excellent analytical skills.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Exposure to CPU unit/microarchitecture verification.
