Nvidia Senior Silicon Product Definition Engineer 

United States, California 

532876530

What you will be doing:

• Analyze pre-production silicon in innovative process technologies for performance, power, yield, and quality to define groundbreaking products as a product definition engineer for NVIDIA's family of chips and products.

• Architect crucial next-generation product features vital for performance, power optimization, and management techniques from feature definition to production, working with multi-functional teams.

• Design tools to automate product definitions, binning, data collection, test case execution, and results analysis.

• Build pre and post-silicon methodologies to characterize silicon features, correlate silicon behavior with simulations, and provide design feedback.

• Find creative solutions to sophisticated 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 8+ years or MS with 6+ 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.

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

• 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 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.
