We are now looking for a Senior Formal Verification Engineer for GPU Kernels! Modern AI performance relies on highly optimized GPU kernels — performance-critical code where bugs can be hard to catch and expensive to miss. NVIDIA's Deep Learning Safety Team is hiring engineers to build the verification tools that prove these kernels behave correctly, enabling their deployment in a large range of environments, including safety-critical systems. The mission is to design and develop scalable verification tools for GPU kernels. You will design and implement new verification approaches that can handle the massive concurrency and complex memory model of the latest GPU architectures.
Formal methods alone cannot scale to modern GPU kernels, and AI alone cannot offer safety guarantees — the team's bet is that the combination can, and you will help build it. Join the team supporting compiler and kernel developers for safe autonomous driving.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
In this role, you will be responsible for developing and delivering verification tools for GPU kernels. The scope of these efforts ranges from developing new algorithms to evaluating them, from building tools to automating workflows, from joining architecture discussion to learning the latest technologies from the research community. The AI + formal methods intersection is an active research area — expect to read papers, prototype ideas from them, and contribute back where it makes sense.
- Design and develop robust and scalable verification tools for GPU kernels.
- Integrate your work in production pipelines to support kernel and compiler developers.
- Integrate AI into formal verification workflows, build agents to automate verification tasks (formalization of specifications, bug fixing, root cause analysis).
- Participate in a high-energy and dynamic company culture to develop innovative software and hardware products and practice hardware-software co-design.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- MS or PhD in Computer Science, Compute Engineering or equivalent experience.
- 6+ years of relevant work experience.
- Formal methods experience: symbolic execution, SMT solving, interactive theorem proving, or model checking.
- Strong programming skills in C/C++ or Rust, experience in SCM (e.g., Git) and build systems (e.g., Make, CMake).
- The ability to work independently, define project goals and scope, and lead your own development effort.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Knowledge of CPU and/or GPU architecture. CUDA or OpenCL experience is a plus.
- Background in the formalization of weak memory models.
- Experience in the verification of concurrent software.
- Experience building LLM agents with tool use and multi-step reasoning, or with neurosymbolic approaches and LLM-assisted theorem proving.
This is an opportunity to have a wide impact at NVIDIA by improving development velocity across our many software projects.
COMPENSATION
- Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD.
- You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until April 27, 2026. This posting is for an existing vacancy.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Verification Engineer
Translate your credentials for U.S. hiring managers
Australian engineering degrees are generally accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year bachelor's degrees for E-3 purposes, but your resume should explicitly state your degree field and institution so hiring managers can confirm specialty occupation eligibility without guessing.
Target semiconductor and chip design employers first
Verification Engineers are concentrated in semiconductor companies, FPGA design firms, and defense electronics contractors. These employers file LCAs regularly, understand the E-3 process, and are less likely to stall an offer over visa paperwork than first-time sponsors.
Search Migrate Mate for E-3 sponsorship roles
Migrate Mate filters Verification Engineer jobs by E-3 visa sponsorship, so you're not cold-applying to employers who've never filed an LCA. Targeting companies with active sponsorship history shortens your path from offer to visa approval.
Clarify the LCA timeline before accepting an offer
Your employer must file a certified Labor Condition Application with the DOL before you can apply at the consulate. DOL typically certifies LCAs within seven business days, but confirm this step is in your offer timeline so there's no gap before your start date.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork
The E-3 filing process involves coordinating the LCA with DOL, preparing consulate documents, and scheduling your interview. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages the entire process from offer to consulate appointment, so you're not navigating government portals while starting a new role.
Prepare a technical degree-to-role justification document
Consular officers assess whether your degree supports the Verification Engineer position specifically. A one-page document mapping your coursework in digital logic, hardware description languages, or verification methodologies to your job duties strengthens your application and reduces the chance of additional questioning.

Find Verification Engineer JobsVerification Engineer E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Verification Engineer jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for U.S. roles with E-3 sponsorship. You can filter Verification Engineer positions by employers who have actively filed LCAs, which removes the guesswork of approaching companies that have no experience sponsoring Australian workers on the E-3 visa.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Verification Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes. Verification Engineer positions typically require a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a closely related field, which meets the E-3 specialty occupation standard. The role must involve applying theoretical and practical knowledge in hardware verification, functional simulation, or related disciplines. If the job description lists a degree as preferred rather than required, that can create complications at the consulate, so confirm the requirement is explicit in your offer letter.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for Verification Engineers?
The E-3 is available only to Australian citizens, but it has two major advantages over the H-1B for this role: there's no lottery, so your employer can sponsor you at any time of year, and the 10,500 annual allocation has never been fully used. The H-1B cap is 85,000 per year with a randomized selection process that rejects most applicants. For a Verification Engineer with Australian citizenship, the E-3 is the more reliable path.
Can I switch Verification Engineer employers while on an E-3 visa?
Yes, but you need a new E-3 visa tied to the new employer before you start working. Your current E-3 is employer-specific, so your new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you'll need to attend a consulate interview in Australia or a third country. There's no portability provision like the one that exists for certain H-1B transfers, so plan your transition timeline accordingly to avoid a gap in work authorization.
