Nuvacore is building a ground-up high performance, low-power CPU for next-generation compute workloads. We are seeking Verification Engineers at from Senior Engineer to Principal level — to help prove that the Nuvacore CPU is architecturally correct. design verification (DV) team , you will help drive architectural verification — checking the CPU’s behavior and architectural state against the architecture specification and a golden reference model — building the stimulus, checkers, and flows that find architectural bugs long before silicon, working shoulder-to-shoulder with architecture and RTL design. Drive the verification scope, strategy, and test plans for architectural correctness — the CPU’s behavior and architectural state versus the specification and a golden reference model. Build, maintain, and scale robust verification environments — including co-simulation against the golden reference model — that compare architectural state end to end. Test & Debug: Generate stimulus in assembly and random instruction sequences (RIS)



to exercise the full instruction set and architectural corner cases such as exceptions, interrupts, and privilege transitions. Define the coverage space, write functional coverage monitors, and analyze metrics to prove the architectural test plan is complete. 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. Solid knowledge of CPU architecture and micro-architecture — the instruction set, architectural state, exceptions, and privilege model — with a good understanding of at least one modern ISA (x86, ARM, or RISC-V). Hands-on functional verification: test plans, testbenches, checkers, and coverage. Proficiency in C/C++/Rust and/or SystemVerilog, plus a scripting language (Python; Experience writing and debugging tests in assembly for CPU verification. Architectural / instruction-set verification against a golden reference model.
