About the role
Senior ASIC Design Engineer focusing on design-for-test (DFT) within NVIDIA's DFX Methodology Team, shaping architecture, design, implementation, and verification of DFT IPs for next-generation SoCs, from pre-silicon to post-silicon validation.
Responsibilities
- Own the architecture and design of fuse controller and other DFT IPs for cutting-edge SoC designs
- Develop, deploy, and enhance DFT methodologies for scalability and future product needs
- Define and align feature sets by working closely with architects, platform, and software teams
- Partner with design, verification, synthesis, timing, and backend teams to ensure cohesive integration
- Create and execute test plans to support both functional and DFT full-chip verification
- Support post-silicon bring-up and validation efforts including debug and issue resolution
- Mentor junior engineers on test design strategies and trade-offs related to cost, quality, and performance
Qualifications
- BS/MS Electrical or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience) in related domain with proven DFT experience
- 8+ years of hands-on experience in SoC architecture, RTL design, and verification
- Strong proficiency in micro-architecture and RTL development using Verilog. (UVM experience is a plus)
- Experience in DFT design, methodology, and implementation
- Familiarity with related domains such as clocking, STA, place & route, and power optimization
- Experience in post-silicon bring-up on ATE, including understanding of pattern formats, test program development, and failure analysis
- Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or Tcl
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset—with a curiosity and passion for solving complex technical challenges
