NVIDIA has an opening for an ASIC Verification Engineer at its Hyderabad office, and the official page accepts candidates with 0 to 2 years of experience. If you finished a B.E, B.Tech or M.Tech in Computer Science or Electronics in 2024, 2025 or 2026 and you enjoy low-level programming, this is one of the more interesting fresher roles you will see this month.
The job title says verification, but the description is really about building tools, infrastructure and test frameworks that chip teams use before and after silicon arrives. In this guide we explain the role in plain words, who can apply, a realistic salary estimate, how to prepare, and how to apply on the official NVIDIA careers page. Everything marked as an estimate is our own market-based guess, not a number from NVIDIA.

About NVIDIA
NVIDIA started out in graphics and today builds the chips and software behind accelerated computing and AI infrastructure. The company describes its mission as powering global intelligence across industries, and its engineering teams have been growing quickly.
For a fresher this matters because the team behind this role works on the same kind of SoC (system on chip) designs that go into NVIDIA CPUs, GPUs and Tegra platforms. You learn how real silicon is brought up, debugged and tested, which is hard to learn from a classroom alone.
What will you do in this role?
According to the official posting, the role sits in an SoC verification and emulation infrastructure team. The team builds the tools and test frameworks that other design and verification engineers rely on. The work described on the page includes:
- Building tools, infrastructure and test frameworks that run in RTL simulation, C simulation, emulation, FPGA and on real silicon.
- Understanding the Tegra system architecture, with a focus on the IP blocks involved in boot and security features.
- Creating tools that let design and verification teams access registers, memory, DMA engines and other features of their unit.
- Enabling test re-use across RTL, models, emulation and silicon, so the same test can be run on every platform.
- Developing features used in silicon bring-up, such as FUSE, ATE, security, flash and DMA, board I2C and USB debug devices.
- Assessing and building C-model or RTL-simulation capability so features can be simulated before silicon arrives.
The page also says the team aims for the highest quality in the frameworks and tools it delivers. Read the full description on the official page before you apply.
Eligibility and skills to have
- Education: BS or MS in Computer Science or Electronics Engineering, or equivalent experience, with 0 to 2 years of experience.
- Programming: strong in C, C++ and Python. The page asks for a strong programmer who builds scalable and maintainable software.
- SoC and system architecture: understanding of how DMA, interrupt engines, CPU, boot devices and MMU / IOMMU work.
- Operating system and driver concepts: and the ability to write no-OS (bare-metal) test frameworks that run directly on the SoC.
- Life cycle knowledge: understanding of the hardware and / or software development life cycle.
- Ways to stand out: previous silicon bring-up work, emulation or FPGA test frameworks, C++ or SystemVerilog / UVM testbench exposure, and Verilog or SystemVerilog coding skills.
Salary and career growth
NVIDIA has not published the pay for this role. To build our estimate we looked at salary-review data. Weekday reports a median of about ₹11 LPA fixed pay for NVIDIA engineers with 0 to 1 year of experience, with most reports between ₹9.1 and ₹18.4 LPA (23 reports). Job sites that track this specific role quote estimates in the ₹12 to ₹22 LPA range. Putting these together, our estimate is ₹11 – 18 LPA. The sample sizes are small and the level is not stated on the page, so treat this only as a guide. Your real offer depends on your interview performance, degree, and the level NVIDIA assigns.
Career growth in chip verification and infrastructure is steady. A common path is verification engineer, senior engineer, then technical lead or architect, with options to move into design, emulation, silicon validation or software roles inside the same SoC organisation. Engineers who know both software and hardware tend to have the widest choice.
How to prepare for the selection process
The selection stages are not listed on the page we read, so please follow the official page and your email. For this kind of role, candidates commonly see a coding or technical screen and then several technical interviews on programming and SoC fundamentals. A simple five-week plan can help:
- Week 1 – C and C++: pointers, memory layout, bit manipulation, structs and writing clean, testable functions.
- Week 2 – Python and scripting: file handling, parsing logs, small automation scripts and unit tests.
- Week 3 – Computer architecture: how a CPU boots, interrupts, DMA, caches, MMU and virtual memory in simple terms.
- Week 4 – OS and drivers: what a device driver does, memory-mapped registers, and how bare-metal code differs from code on an operating system.
- Week 5 – Verification basics: read about Verilog and SystemVerilog, simulation versus emulation versus FPGA, and what a testbench is.
If you want a Telugu walkthrough of Linux and Python basics, which help with scripting and tooling, you can learn them on our DevOps with Anil (Telugu) YouTube channel.
Resume tips for this role
- Put C, C++ and Python at the top of your skills section, and add Verilog or SystemVerilog only if you have really used them.
- Show one low-level project, such as an embedded or microcontroller project, a small RTOS, a driver, or a simple CPU design, and explain your role in two lines.
- Mention any FPGA, simulation or lab work from your college, even if it was a small course project.
- Keep the resume to one page and list your degree, batch and CGPA clearly.
Frequently asked questions
Can 2024 and 2025 graduates apply, or only 2026?
The official page asks for 0 to 2 years of experience and does not list batch years. That is why we show 2026, 2025 and 2024 graduates, but please confirm on the official page.
Do I need a VLSI or ECE degree?
The page asks for a BS or MS in Computer Science or Electronics Engineering, or equivalent experience. Strong C, C++ and Python programming is the first requirement listed.
Is Verilog or UVM compulsory?
No. The page lists Verilog, SystemVerilog and testbench experience as ways to stand out, not as the main requirement.
Does this company charge any fee for hiring?
No genuine company charges candidates. Apply only through the official careers site and never pay anyone for a job.
What is the expected salary?
NVIDIA has not stated it. Our estimate of ₹11 – 18 LPA is based on public salary reports and may differ from the real offer.
Disclaimer: We share genuine jobs from official company pages, but details can change. Please verify everything on the official page before applying. Telegram, WhatsApp and Instagram admins of Telugu Tech Learners never charge for jobs, and we are not connected to NVIDIA.
