About the role

Senior engineer responsible for co-design, bring-up, and post-silicon validation of analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits that underpin safety, security, reliability, and performance features, across the full PVT space, from first power-on through production sign-off.

Responsibilities

  • Own the co-design, bring-up, and post-silicon validation of the analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits that underpin NVIDIA's safety, security, reliability, and performance enhancement features — across the full PVT space, from first power-on through production sign-off.
  • Close the simulation-to-silicon gap. Build methodologies that correlate measured circuit behavior against pre-silicon predictions, quantify divergences, and produce actionable analysis.
  • Trace failures to their source and drive resolution through to confirmation.
  • Own and build AI agents that automate test orchestration, data pipelines, and analysis flows to expand coverage and reduce cycle time.
  • Build automation and analysis infrastructure to enable efficient multi-product execution without sacrificing depth or coverage.
  • Contribute to decision-making tables; use data to drive binning, guard-band, and reliability sign-off decisions.
  • Lead and mentor junior engineers and interns.

Qualifications

  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent lab experience
  • 8+ years of hands-on silicon bring-up, frequency and power characterization, or post-silicon validation on real hardware
  • Strong circuit fundamentals across analog, digital, and mixed-signal
  • Hands-on lab depth with oscilloscopes, multimeters, DAQs, spectrum analyzers, and silicon debug tools; comfort with tester-to-system correlation
  • Depth in product binning, PVT analysis, guard-banding, and optimization trade-offs; statistical fluency
  • Exposure to critical path analysis, power integrity, dI/dt and PDN analysis, transistor physics, and silicon reliability aging mechanisms
  • Scripting proficiency in Python, C/C++, or equivalent; able to build infrastructure for characterization
