Job description

The DFP Engineer – Manufacturing role focuses on defining and implementing validation and screening processes for new silicon features in high-volume manufacturing. This position requires translating product requirements into effective test methodologies and detailed manufacturing test plans. The engineer will work closely with multi-functional teams to enhance the manufacturing test process throughout the DFP lifecycle. The role emphasizes quality, yield, and efficiency in manufacturing operations.

Requirements

  • MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field or equivalent experience.
  • 6+ years in silicon post-silicon validation and/or high-volume manufacturing test for complex SoCs, GPUs, CPUs, or similar.
  • Hands-on experience with test content bring-up, limit setting, correlation to characterization, and yield/coverage optimization.
  • Proficiency with scripting and data analysis tools such as Python, MATLAB, R, or SQL.
  • Demonstrated ability to drive multi-functional alignment around plans, dependencies, and sign-off criteria.
  • Excellent communication skills and experience authoring structured technical documents and test plans.
  • Strong AI-enabled skills and thinking, with the ability to use AI for analysis and documentation.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end manufacturing test methodology across all test stages.
  • Translate system specs and product POR into DFP requirements, test content, coverage, and flows.
  • Define and maintain the DFP roadmap, including infrastructure and turning point planning.
  • Partner multi-functionally to implement test content, debug hooks, and coverage improvements.
  • Drive alignment on manufacturability, test time, binning strategies, and cost vs. coverage trade-offs.
  • Embed testability requirements into design to enable robust screening and debug.
  • Define data and analytics frameworks to support yield analysis and continuous improvement.
  • Lead DFP documentation as the single source of truth and feed findings into future methodologies.

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.
