NVIDIA is seeking a Silicon Reliability Engineer to enhance the reliability of high-performance products through cutting-edge technologies. This role involves collaboration with wafer foundries and various functional groups to establish process reliability requirements. The engineer will assess wearout reliability and provide guidance for design improvements. The position is crucial for ensuring world-class reliability in next-generation products.

• PhD or MS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related major or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of overall experience in semiconductor reliability.
• Deep understanding of cutting-edge semiconductor process technologies and reliability physics.
• Familiarity with wearout failure mechanisms and industry standards.
• Proficiency in reliability statistics and failure rate calculations.
• Good knowledge of semiconductor process defects and failure analysis.
• Solid understanding of reliability degradation mechanisms in logic and memory circuits.
• Hands-on skills in reliability data analysis using statistical tools such as JMP.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, and presentation skills.

• Work closely with wafer foundries and various functional groups to develop process reliability requirements for new technology nodes.
• Drive foundries for NVIDIA’s test vehicle qualifications and process reliability improvement before taping out new products.
• Perform wearout reliability assessments and provide reliability guidance to design teams for Design for Reliability.
• Provide reliability Vmax and aging guardband guidelines to product teams.
• Collaborate with foundries to plan and perform stress tests and build reliability models for extrinsic failure mechanisms.
• Interact with foundries for excursion materials and assess reliability risk for disposition.

• 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.
