The Staff/Principal Solutions Architect role at NVIDIA focuses on defining and leading the technical strategy for semiconductor test operations. This senior individual contributor position is integral to the manufacturing and product engineering teams, overseeing the architectural vision for device testing from wafer probe to final package test. The role emphasizes modernizing test infrastructure, improving yield, and integrating data-driven intelligence throughout the test lifecycle. Collaboration with various teams across sites is essential to ensure the test strategy can scale with complex device portfolios.

• 15+ years of hands-on semiconductor test engineering experience within a fab, IDM, or OSAT environment.
• Extensive knowledge in at least three areas such as ATE platform architecture, test program development, DFT methodology, yield analysis, or test data/ML analytics.
• Skilled in leading ATE platforms such as Advantest V93000, Teradyne UltraFLEX/ETS, or similar systems.
• Strong background in DFT architectures including scan compression, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG, and related methodologies.
• Experience with mixed-signal, RF, or high-speed I/O test is highly valued.
• Proficiency in test-related scripting and automation using Python, Perl, C++, or platform-native languages.
• Proven ability to lead multi-site technical initiatives involving multi-functional teams and influence without direct authority.
• MSEE, MSCE, MSCS, or related field (or equivalent experience).

• Define the comprehensive test development strategy across wafer-level and package/final/qual test for new and existing product families.
• Lead architectural trade-off decisions on test coverage, test time, cost of test, and quality escapes across the full test flow.
• Establish architectural guidelines for the test program, Test Methods/Class structure, modularity, and reuse across ATE platforms.
• Serve as the senior liaison between build and test engineering for DFT architecture decisions.
• Influence SoC and IP build reviews to ensure testability, observability, and debug-ability.
• Drive adoption of AI/ML techniques for yield learning, outlier detection, predictive binning, and test time optimization.
• Define and maintain test roadmaps aligned to device technology roadmaps and manufacturing scale targets.
• Mentor senior and principal test engineers and cultivate technical standards and guidelines across the test organization.
• Engage with ATE vendors, test IP providers, and industry consortia on emerging standards and technology directions.

• 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.
