As a Senior DFT Engineer at NVIDIA, you will enhance DFT capabilities by connecting silicon behavior, test data, and product learning to create robust DFT solutions for advanced chips. You will work closely with design, product development, and test teams to ensure alignment between pre-silicon and post-silicon processes. This role emphasizes data-driven analysis and the development of methodologies to support silicon bring-up and production deployment. Your contributions will be vital in optimizing test-time performance and improving product quality.

• BSEE or equivalent experience with 8+ years or MS with 6 years of experience in a related field.
• Solid understanding of DFT concepts, silicon test, and the relationship between design implementation and post-silicon behavior.
• Experience with silicon bring-up, debug, validation, production test, or engineering analysis of semiconductor devices.
• Ability to analyze complex datasets and use statistical or analytical approaches to identify trends and support engineering decisions.
• Familiarity with automated test environments and test-program flows.
• Understanding of semiconductor fundamentals, including device behavior and process variation.
• Strong written and oral communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across technical disciplines.

• Drive post-silicon enablement of DFT capabilities from initial silicon bring-up through production ramp and lifecycle support.
• Develop data-driven approaches to analyze test results, quality indicators, yield behavior, and test efficiency.
• Influence DFT architecture and implementation by communicating post-silicon requirements early with clear metrics.
• Define and improve methodologies for silicon bring-up, failure analysis, test-content validation, and production deployment.
• Help productize new DFT capabilities by establishing scalable flows, validation criteria, debug procedures, and documentation.
• Contribute to modeling and analysis that supports test-time optimization, quality improvement, yield learning, and test power.
• Partner across design, product development, and test teams to align pre-silicon trade-offs with post-silicon execution.

• 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.
