Nuvacore is building a ground-up high performance, low-power CPU for next-generation compute workloads. We are seeking Verification Engineers at multiple levels — from Senior Engineer to Principal level — to help prove the correctness of the Nuvacore interconnect fabric. As part of the design verification (DV) team, you will help verify the coherent and non-coherent interconnect — building the test plans, environments, and checkers that find deep bugs in transport, ordering, and coherence long before silicon, working shoulder-to-shoulder with architecture and RTL design.

THE ROLE

• Plan & Strategy: Drive the verification scope, strategy, and test plans for the interconnect fabric — coherent and non-coherent, including crossbars, routing, and bus interfaces.
• Workplace Setup: Build, maintain, and scale robust verification environments — stimulus generators, protocol checkers, transactors, and coverage — that exercise coherent and non-coherent transactions end to end.
• Test & Debug: Generate directed and random traffic to expose corner cases such as ordering, arbitration, QoS,



and deadlock/livelock avoidance.
• Performance Verification: Partner with architects to correlate RTL against performance models, hunting bandwidth, latency, and QoS issues.
• Coverage Closure: Define the coverage space, write functional coverage monitors, and analyze metrics to prove the test plan is complete.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with architecture and RTL teams to root-cause failures, drive design fixes, and support emulation, FPGA, and silicon bring-up.

Requirements — Must Have

• Degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
• 15+ years (Principal) or 4+ years (Senior Engineer) of design-verification experience, ideally on a CPU or complex digital design.
• Strong knowledge of interconnect/fabric architecture and digital logic — coherent and non-coherent protocols (e.g. AMBA, CHI, TileLink) and on-chip transport.
