Job description

NVIDIA's Silicon Co-design Group is looking for a versatile engineer to join the HW ArchDev Methodology team, which operates across the entire product lifecycle. This team focuses on defining innovative validation strategies for next-generation GPUs and AI accelerators. The role involves working at the intersection of architecture, silicon bring-up, and production to ensure high-quality product delivery. The engineer will be responsible for developing automation frameworks and telemetry systems to enhance validation processes.

Requirements

  • BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering or equivalent experience
  • 4+ years of experience in silicon bring-up, ASIC validation, or system-level debug
  • Knowledge of PVT, timing (STA), signal integrity, power, and high-speed IO such as PCIe
  • Understanding of firmware and driver-hardware interaction
  • Experience or curiosity about data-driven workflows, telemetry, and AI-assisted development
  • Ability to thrive in a collaborative environment

Responsibilities

  • Design system-level validation strategies for complex architectures and corner cases
  • Build AI-assisted and data-driven validation workflows to improve coverage and efficiency
  • Profile real workloads including training, inference, HPC, and video applications
  • Deploy automation and telemetry pipelines that scale across products and teams
  • Drive silicon bring-up and root-cause debug using reusable methods

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.
