Silicon Co-design Engineer

Working at the Silicon Co-design Engineering Team at NVIDIA, you will be responsible for productizing NVIDIA's chips into groundbreaking consumer, professional, server, mobile, and automotive solutions.

The qualified candidate should be comfortable in a lab environment and should demonstrate a passion towards creation, execution and improvement of silicon validation plans.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and implement methodologies to characterize silicon and validate system features on pre-production silicon.
• Drive root-causes analysis efforts of hardware failures through lab experimentation and collaboration with other teams within NVIDIA.
• Find innovative solutions to sophisticated silicon and system level problems to productize silicon and refine future designs to fine-tune architected features post-silicon.
• Analyze workloads like DL/AI, AAA games, Adobe Suite, and Video Conferencing to understand how we can push market leading energy efficiency.
• Characterize pre-production silicon fabricated using innovative processes for speed, performance, power, yield, and quality to draw correlation to design.
• Design or commission tools on evaluation platforms to automate and optimize characterization, data collection, test case execution, and results analysis.
• Analyze workloads to achieve best-in-class energy efficiency and evaluate the return and investment of new techniques and features, including use case benefit and design-for-productization.

Requirements:

• Completing a BS, MS or PhD degree in EE, CE, Systems Engineering or equivalent experience.
• Problem solving, debugging, analysis and logical reasoning skills with examples to prove it.
• Understanding of digital design, circuit analysis, algorithms, computer architecture, BIOS, drivers, and software applications.
• Strong programming skills in one or more of Python, JavaScript, C/C++

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with statistical methods, tools for data analysis, and analyzing large datasets to draw actionable conclusions, possibly applying deep learning techniques.
• Knowledgeable in signal integrity, timing analysis, fault analysis, sampling, computer architecture, filters.
• Familiar with lab tools (oscilloscopes and logic analyzers).
• Experience in Database and Web Development is a plus!
