About the role

Lab Technician in NVIDIA's Silicon Co-Design group responsible for end-to-end hardware setup and validation support for assigned chip/silicon programs within the Hardware Validation Farm. Requires hands-on board bring-up, thermal attachment, hardware diagnostics, and independent troubleshooting with minimal supervision. Full lifecycle ownership from receipt to sanity validation and post-enablement support.

Responsibilities

  • Full Setup Lifecycle Ownership — Own board receipt, pre-enablement checks, thermal attachment, peripheral bring-up, and sanity validation for assigned programs; provide ongoing post-enablement support.
  • Hardware Diagnostics & Root Cause Analysis — Troubleshoot device-under-test (DUT) failures beyond surface-level symptoms, trace issues to true root cause, and make informed calls on whether a setup is recoverable.
  • Thermal Attachment Expertise — Execute thermal attachment procedures across varying cooler head configurations, applying mechanical adjustments as needed to achieve reliable thermal performance.
  • Independent Program Ownership — Carry assigned chip programs end-to-end with minimal supervision, including issue triage, sanity runs, and full closure documentation (failure analysis summaries and issue/bug filing).
  • Process Improvement — Proactively identify gaps in lab setup, preparation, or validation procedures, and contribute to process improvements that strengthen farm readiness.
  • Lab Safety — Identify and report safety hazards or incidents promptly to prevent hardware damage or injury.
  • Cross-Team Collaboration — Work closely with Farm Engineers, Program Leads, and functional validation teams to align on setup requirements and technical escalations.

Qualifications

  • Diploma/ITI, Associate's degree, or equivalent technical certification in Electronics, Mechanical, Electrical, or a related field, with 2+ years of hands-on experience in a hardware lab, server/board-level bring-up, or validation environment.
  • Demonstrated experience with thermal solution attachment (heat sinks, cold plates, liquid cooling, or similar) and strong hardware troubleshooting skills with the ability to independently isolate root cause.
  • Experience supporting multiple concurrent hardware or chip validation programs with minimal supervision, including the judgment to triage issues and make sound technical calls independently.
  • Experience authoring closure documentation, failure analysis reports, or formal issue/bug tracking, along with familiarity with lab safety protocols and incident reporting procedures.
