Nvidia Senior Product Development Engineer System Defect Testing 

United States, California 

809992514

What you will be doing:

• Understand chip HW features and intersection with speed characteristics. Develop state-of-artcharacterization/validationstrategies for these features.

• Understand new silicon features and create internal characterization plans to validate benefits, functionality, etc.

• Driving new feature testing methodology initiatives and implementation plan across multiple business units, translate hardware features design requirements to silicon speed characterization needs and test requirements for Productization.

• Work alongside system architects, chip and board designers, software/firmware engineers, HW/SW applications engineering, process/reliability specialists, DFx engineers, ATE engineers, product managers, sales, and operations, in a multifaceted, high-energy work environment to bring industry-defining products to market.

• Designing tools and scripts to automate characterization, data collection, test case execution, and results analysis.

• Prototype and fine-tune the testing methodology to suit the needs of the next generation products. Build pre and post-silicon bring up flow and methodologies for productization quality and efficiency when characterizing silicon.

• Architect essential testability features for next-generation product that are vital for performance, power optimization and management techniques all the way from feature definition to production; working with multi-functional teams.

• Correlate silicon behavior across different platforms and simulation expectations, and provide design feedback.

• 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 with cross functional teams to Improve quality of chips by enabling screens to catch Silicon Defects

• Collaborating with the best minds in NVIDIA across various teams (System Architecture, PDE, Application Engineering, Product Manager, Sales, and Operations) in a dynamic, creative work environment to bring industry-defining products to market.

What we need to see:

• MS in EE, CE, Systems Engineering (or equivalent experience)

• 4+ years of experience in a related hardware engineering position.

• Previous experience with silicon bringup, frequency and power characterization, PPA in Pre-Silicon or Post-Silicon phases, tester-to-system correlation, and lab tools (oscilloscopes, multimeters, DAQ).

• Scripting experience with Perl/ Python. Exposure to Windows, Linux, and Android OS environments.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Some familiarity with statistical methods and tools for data analysis

• A "go-getter, can get it done" attitude and independent 'out-of-box' thinking.
