Nvidia Senior Mixed Design Validation Systems-Electrical/Optical Engineer 

United States, California 

473309930

As a member of our Mixed Signal Design Validation team, you will lead bring-up activities and characterization of high-speed mixed signal circuits and will lead system validation with electro-optical transceivers. The ideal candidate will take full ownership of developing and driving tests, debugging unexpected bugs, and generating meaningful analysis from lab data of high-speed interfaces and modules.

What you'll be doing:

• Develop validation test suites for high-speed IOs including Ethernet and InfiniBand

• Perform deep characterization of analog, digital and mixed signal circuit blocks across process, voltage, and temperature and correlate data with simulations

• Lead and execute debug of technically challenging bugs by finding creative solutions to complex problems

• Provide feedback to designers on silicon performance, design quality, and margins

• Develop and execute test scripts to optimize end-to-end system performance of electro-optical transceivers with NVIDIA data center platforms

• Maintain focused discussions with multi-operational groups within and outside the company to optimize transceiver performance with NVIDIA platforms

• Develop tools and/or scripts to support optical and electrical characterization and bring up activities

• Take full ownership to train new engineers in validation practices

What we need to see:

• Master or PhD of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience

• Excellent collaborative and interpersonal skills are a hard requirement

• Extremely responsive to time sensitive show-stopping issues

• 5+ years of experience measuring, analyzing, and debugging complex mixed-signal designs

• Experienced in silicon bring-up, debugging and use of lab instrumentation is required

• Ability to work in a high paced environment involved with multiple bring-ups of chips, systems and transceivers

• Deep technical understanding of fundamental analog, digital and mixed signal circuits

• Experience with Python, Git, Matlab, and JMP

• Ability to code scripts for validation, debug, data analysis, and automation

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Optical transceiver performance testing at high data rates

• Expert in data automation and analysis

• Strong hands-on lab experience in Serdes PHY characterization
