As a Silicon Circuit System design engineer for NVIDIA's family of chips and products, you will evaluate and work with pre-production silicon in state-of-the-art process technologies to characterize and optimize performance, power, yield, and quality to define the world’s fastest 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 with 7+ years or MS with 5+ years experience (or equivalent 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.
Highly desirable are in-depth knowledge of chip—and board-level dI/dt analysis/mitigation techniques and a background in board PDN design.
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.
