Position summary

execution and improvement of silicon validation plans.

What you will be doing:

  • As a Silicon Circuit Characterization engineer for NVIDIA's family of chips and products, you will participate in silicon bringup & post-silicon characterization of new silicon to optimize performance, power, yield, and quality to define the world's fastest products.

  • Build methodologies to characterize Analog, digital and Mixed Signal circuits, silicon features, correlate silicon behavior with simulations.

  • Design tools to improve execution efficiency to facilitate the ability to work simultaneously on multiple products.

  • Find creative solutions to complex silicon and system level problems and be on the frontline to lead show-stopper bugs, in order to enable product shipment.

  • Work closely with other engineering teams to determine coverage needs and constraints.

  • Drive design improvements for future product based on what is found in the lab.

What we need to see:

  • BS or MS degree in EE/CE or equivalent experience.

  • 5+ years of relevant experience in silicon bring-up and post silicon validation activities.

  • Excellent problem solving, collaborative, and interpersonal skills. Experience working with offshore teams preferred.

  • Knowledge of chip and board level dI/dt analysis/mitigation techniques and board PDN design background is highly desirable.

  • Hands-on experience with silicon bringup, frequency and power characterization, Tester to System correlation, lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, DAQ, Spectrum Analyzers).

  • Deep understanding of 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 Python, C/C++, tool and script development

  • Background with power supply and substrate noise analysis and mitigation.

  • Exposure to digital design, circuit analysis, computer architecture, BIOS, drivers, and software applications.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Deep understanding of technology and passionate about what you do

  • Strong collaborative and communication skills, specifically a shown ability to effectively guide and influence within a dynamic environment.

  • Strive to be a standout colleague and be ready to work with global teams from diverse cultural backgrounds in a high energy environment.
