Job description

As a Silicon Speed Features Engineer at SCG, you will play a crucial role in co-designing system-level speed features and building the validation infrastructure necessary for characterizing them. This hands-on position requires a blend of technical expertise and innovative thinking to streamline processes using modern tools, including AI. You will work closely with various teams to ensure product quality and performance while addressing complex silicon issues. This role offers the opportunity to significantly impact the company's success in the gaming, datacenter, automotive, and embedded markets.

Requirements

  • MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 4+ years of experience in a related hardware engineering role.
  • Hands-on experience with silicon bring-up, frequency and power characterization, and PPA analysis.
  • Proficiency in scripting with Python and/or Perl, and comfortable in Windows, Linux, and Android environments.
  • Familiarity with statistical methods and data analysis tools such as JMP or equivalent.
  • Demonstrated use of AI or LLM-based tools in an engineering workflow.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with system architects, hardware, firmware/software, process/reliability, and operations teams.
  • Define system-level specifications, margins, and bounding box constraints.
  • Provide system requirements for hardware and features affecting speed and reliability.
  • Translate hardware features and architectural requirements into validation techniques.
  • Perform closed loop validation by correlating silicon behavior against timing simulation.
  • Define, prototype, and refine pre- and post-silicon bring-up flows.
  • Design and implement automation tools for system speed modeling.
  • Architect and influence testability features critical to performance, power, and reliability.
  • Lead debug of complex silicon and system-level issues to enable on-time product shipment.

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.
