Job description

NVIDIA's DFX team is seeking a talented DFT Engineer to innovate in the field of silicon testing. The role involves shaping test methodologies for advanced silicon platforms, including AI data center technologies and complex SOCs. The engineer will collaborate with EDA vendors and internal teams to develop scalable solutions while mentoring junior engineers. This position offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology and contribute to the future of computing.

Requirements

  • MS/PhD or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering or a related field
  • 6+ years of hands-on experience in Design-For-Test (DFT)
  • Deep knowledge of DFT tools, methodologies, and test strategies for complex, large-scale designs
  • Strong experience with industry standard ATPG tools
  • Clear, effective communicator with strong written and verbal skills
  • Passion for mentoring and scaling technical excellence in a team

Responsibilities

  • Develop and deploy industry-leading test methodologies on NVIDIA’s next-generation silicon platforms.
  • Collaborate with leading EDA vendors to shape tool capabilities that meet NVIDIA’s ambitious design goals.
  • Co-architect novel DFT strategies alongside VLSI and Product Engineering teams.
  • Own the full ATPG lifecycle including verification, coverage analysis, pattern generation, and ATE bring-up.
  • Guide and mentor junior engineers in navigating complex design trade-offs.

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.
