What you will be doing:
-
You will evaluate and work with pre-production silicon in brand-new process technologies to characterize and optimize performance, power, yield, and quality for groundbreaking products.
-
Build pre and post-silicon methodologies to productize Analog, digital, and Mixed-Signal circuits and silicon features, correlate silicon behavior with simulations, and provide design feedback.
-
Driving new feature initiatives across multiple business units, converting chip and board level dI/dt analysis/mitigation techniques and board PDN design knowledge to hardware features, design requirements, silicon characterization needs, and test requirements.
-
Design essential next-generation product features that are vital for performance, power optimization, and management techniques from feature definition to production, working with multi-functional teams.
-
Design tools to automate product definitions, data collection, test case execution, and results analysis.
-
Find creative solutions to complex silicon and system-level problems and be on the frontline to lead show-stopper bugs to enable product shipment.
-
Work alongside system architects, chip and board designers, software/firmware engineers, HW/SW applications engineering, process/reliability specialists, ATE engineers, product managers, sales, and operations in a multifaceted, high-energy work environment to bring industry-defining products to market.
What we need to see:
-
BS (or equivalent experience) with 7+ years or MS with 5+ years experience in EE, CE, CS, Systems Engineering, or similar and experience in a related hardware engineering position.
-
Excellent problem-solving, collaborative, and interpersonal skills. Experience working with offshore teams preferred.
-
A background in board PDN design and in-depth knowledge of chip—and board-level dI/dt analysis/mitigation techniques are helpful.
-
Hands-on experience with silicon bringup, frequency and power characterization, Tester System correlation, and lab tools (oscilloscopes, multimeters, DAQ).
-
Exposure to product binning methods, optimization techniques, methods, trade-off analysis, and tools for data analysis and statistics.
-
Exposure to critical path analysis, power analysis, process technologies, transistor/device physics, silicon reliability, and aging mechanisms.
-
Familiarity with Perl, C/C++, tool and script development, Windows and Linux OS is a plus.
-
Background with power supply and substrate noise analysis and mitigation.
-
Exposure to digital design, circuit analysis, computer architecture, BIOS, drivers, and software applications.

What We Do
NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, NVIDIA is increasingly known as “the AI computing company.”
