In this hands-on role, you will provide technical leadership and manage the SoC performance verification group across NVIDIA’s next-generation DPUs and SmartNICs. You will own end-to-end pre-silicon performance signoff for the SoC. We are looking for someone who thrives on building high-performing teams, driving execution across multiple parallel projects, and partnering with architecture, microarchitecture, IP, SoC integration, and program management teams to deliver world-class silicon.\nWhat You’ll Be Doing:\nLead, mentor, and grow a team of verification engineers. Define team structure, hiring plans, and career development paths to build a strong, scalable organization.\nProvide technical leadership in defining and executing the performance verification strategy for sophisticated NIC designs, partnering closely with design, architecture, and modeling teams to identify, analyze, and mitigate performance bottlenecks across the design pipeline.\nArchitect and implement reusable testbench infrastructure components and develop targeted test scenarios for full-chip NIC performance verification, drawing on a deep understanding of NIC microarchitecture and traffic flows. Build infrastructure and tooling for efficient performance debugging.\nDevelop detailed performance test plans to verify next-generation features.\nUse advanced verification methodologies and tools, including Specman/e and SystemVerilog/UVM.\nEstablish and improve design and verification methodologies and best practices. Enable AI workflows to increase team productivity and improve design quality across tape-outs.\nWhat We Need to See:\nA B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.\n10+ overall years of experience in ASIC/SoC verification, including 3+ years in a people management or technical leadership role overseeing teams of multiple engineers.\nA strong understanding of verification methodologies, including UVM, constrained-random verification, and coverage-driven verification techniques.\nA strong understanding of digital design fundamentals, including RTL coding in Verilog/SystemVerilog, architecture, microarchitecture, and power analysis.\nDemonstrated ability to manage SoC teams while balancing resources, schedules, and quality trade-offs.\nExperience with EDA tools for simulation and debugging.\nThe ability to communicate technical status, risks, and trade-offs clearly to engineering leadership and cross-functional partners.\nWays to Stand Out from the Crowd:\nMultiple years of experience verifying the performance of complex designs.\nExperience or a background in networking-related domains.\nHands-on experience developing fully agentic workflows to improve team processes.\nExperience building or scaling verification infrastructure, including regression frameworks, coverage automation, or CI/CD pipelines for hardware.\nWe support our people with competitive compensation, health and wellness programs, financial benefits, time away from work, family support, learning opportunities, and resources that help employees do their best work. Benefits may vary by location, role, and eligibility.\nNVIDIA is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and applicants.
