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 collaboration across multiple teams to ensure quality and efficiency in manufacturing tests. The engineer will translate product requirements into detailed test methodologies and plans. The role emphasizes the integration of AI tools to enhance analysis and documentation while maintaining rigorous engineering standards.
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.
