Job description
In this role at NVIDIA's Test Design Engineering group, you will be responsible for developing and deploying production test solutions for networking products. You will collaborate with engineering and operations teams to shape test strategies and ensure alignment with GPU engineering. The position requires extensive experience in production testing and systems, focusing on creating efficient test solutions that meet both engineering and manufacturing needs. This Santa Clara-based role involves significant coordination across teams and participation in new platform projects.
Requirements
- A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Information Systems.
- 15+ years of experience in product engineering with technical leadership in production operations.
- Hands-on experience developing software and production test solutions.
- Experience defining test strategies that balance coverage, reliability, test time, and manufacturing requirements.
- Background with working directly with contract manufacturers, joint design manufacturers, and original design manufacturers.
- Experience defining statements of work, developing test plans, and coordinating test release deployment at manufacturing sites.
- Ability to explain technical tradeoffs and support collaboration across teams.
Responsibilities
- Partner with Santa Clara test engineering teams to develop production tests for platforms combining networking ASICs, microcontrollers, and other components.
- Guide test architecture, coverage, and failure diagnosis for complex hardware platforms.
- Work with security teams to incorporate security requirements into test methods and workflows.
- Coordinate technical decisions, priorities, and dependencies across teams.
- Collaborate with CPU and GPU test diagnostics teams to reuse software, components, and test flows.
- Participate in new platform projects from the planning stage, bringing TDE’s requirements into design and test decisions.
- Help teams evaluate and adapt existing test capabilities to reduce duplicate development and shorten production timelines.
- Represent TDE in technical discussions, planning sessions, and reviews.
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.
