## Description

NVIDIA's Silicon Co-Design Group (SCG) leads silicon programs from first power-on to high-volume production. We're hiring a Senior Manager to lead our Silicon Speed Productization team, focusing on simulation-to-silicon speed correlation and ensuring products meet intended frequencies across various conditions.

Responsibilities:

- Close the prediction-to-silicon loop: Own speed characterization and correlation from pre-silicon planning to production sign-off across GPU, CPU, and SoC programs

- Resolve speed failures: Drive root-cause closure for frequency corners, minimum operating voltage, critical paths, and workload behavior divergences

- Define product limits: Refine methodologies for silicon margining, process-voltage-temperature characterization, guardbanding, aging, and speed binning

- Left-shift learning: Feed measured-silicon insights back into timing models, critical-path predictions, test content, design practices, and future architectures

- Give leadership clarity: Convert characterization data into decision-ready options for leadership

- Scale analysis and coverage: Build closed-loop data, automation, and AI-assisted workflows for test orchestration, anomaly detection, and reporting

- Build the organization: Hire, develop, and retain a high-performing, globally-distributed team

Requirements:

- BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering (or equivalent experience)

- 12+ years of experience in silicon characterization, post-silicon validation, timing or performance analysis, including 5+ years leading technical teams

- Proven management experience developing senior engineers and first-line managers

- Deep technical foundation in digital design, computer architecture, static timing analysis, and semiconductor process variation

- Hands-on expertise with silicon speed characterization, simulation-to-silicon correlation, and process-voltage-temperature dependencies

- Demonstrated ability to drive ambiguous issues to root-cause closure

- Proficiency with data-analysis and automation tools like Python, JMP, SQL

- Strong written and verbal communication skills

Nice to have:

- Evidence of tracing a frequency miss to a specific critical path or process corner and driving a productized fix

- Experience building reusable correlation or characterization methodologies

- Applied AI tools to characterization or debug workflows

- Comfort navigating ambiguity and aligning global teams
