Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a hardware engineer to join its Silicon Co-Design Group, which focuses on the intersection of architecture, design, firmware, and silicon. The role involves developing methods, test infrastructure, and coverage strategies to identify issues before software is production-ready. The engineer will work closely with various teams to define requirements and enhance workflows using AI-assisted lab processes. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking technologies in a dynamic work environment.

Requirements

  • BS or MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in silicon bring-up, validation, debug, or productization.
  • Deep understanding of digital development, microarchitecture, timing, clocking, power, noise, and control systems.
  • Hands-on proficiency with lab instruments such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and C/C++ with experience in building lab automation.

Responsibilities

  • Own bring-up, validation, qualification, tuning, and productization plans for next-generation silicon.
  • Partner with architecture, build, firmware, and software teams to define power management and clocking requirements.
  • Build and deploy AI-assisted lab workflows to automate telemetry and silicon measurement data evaluation.
  • Develop test infrastructure, characterization methodologies, and bring-up playbooks to enhance post-silicon coverage.
  • Lead root-cause analysis on hardware/software interaction issues under schedule pressure.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
