About the role
NVIDIA's Networking front-end design team builds complex hardware IP blocks for next-generation SmartNIC and DPU products. This role leads and manages a cluster of IP teams responsible for both design and design verification, owning end-to-end IP delivery from micro-architecture and RTL implementation through functional verification, lint/CDC/RDC closure, synthesis, and silicon readiness. The manager partners with architecture, SoC integration, physical design, software, and program management teams to deliver silicon.
What you will do
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of design and verification engineers across a cluster of IP blocks. You will define team structure, hiring plans, and career development paths to build a strong, scalable organization.
- Own the end-to-end execution of IP delivery — micro-architecture, RTL design, functional verification, coverage closure, assertions, formal verification, and synthesis handoff. You will set quality bars, review schedules, and drive milestone adherence across your IP cluster.
- Define and drive verification strategies, test plans, coverage goals, and sign-off criteria for your IPs. Your team will develop UVM-based constrained-random and directed test environments, achieve functional and code coverage targets, and ensure robust regression infrastructure.
- Partner with architecture, SoC integration, physical design, DFT, firmware, and software teams to resolve cross-functional dependencies, close interface specifications, and ensure seamless IP integration. We will look to you to identify risks early, drive trade-off decisions, and align technical priorities across stakeholders.
- Establish and improve design and verification methodologies, best practices, reuse strategies, and automation flows to increase team productivity and IP quality across tape-outs.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- 10+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC design or verification, including 2+ years in a people management or technical leadership role managing multi-engineer teams.
- Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals — RTL coding (Verilog/SystemVerilog), micro-architecture, timing, clocking, reset, power management, and synthesis constraints.
- Strong understanding of verification methodologies — e-specman/UVM, constrained-random verification, coverage-driven verification, assertions (SVA), and formal verification techniques.
- Experience managing IP delivery across the full lifecycle — specification, design, verification, synthesis handoff, and post-silicon support.
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple IPs or projects in parallel, balancing resources, schedules, and quality trade-offs.
- Experience with EDA tools for simulation, lint, CDC, RDC, synthesis, and debug.
- Ability to communicate technical status, risks, and trade-offs clearly to engineering leadership and cross-functional partners.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience with high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, NVLink, HBM, DDR, or high-speed SerDes IP blocks.
- Experience building or scaling verification infrastructure — regression frameworks, coverage automation, CI/CD pipelines for hardware, or emulation/FPGA prototyping flows.
- Hands-on experience with scripting and automation using Python, Perl, TCL, or shell scripting to improve team workflows.
- Background in GPU, networking, or AI/HPC-related IP domains is a strong plus.
