Senior Bring up Methodology Lead

We are seeking a Senior Bring up Methodology Lead to join our HW bring-up methodology team. The successful candidate will lead end-to-end planning and on-time execution of Nvidia's new chip bringup effort, from pre-silicon through production deployment. They will coordinate multi-functional teams across Architecture, Build, Validation, DFT, SW, System, and Operations to drive shared bringup achievements. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in silicon or system bringup, excellent leadership and problem-solving skills, and the ability to think strategically about end-to-end silicon solution readiness and tactically about day-to-day execution.

Responsibilities:

• Led end-to-end planning and on-time execution of Nvidia's new chip bringup effort, from pre-silicon through production deployment.
• Coordinate multi-functional teams across Architecture, Build, Validation, DFT, SW, System, and Operations to drive shared bringup achievements.
• Improve cross-team communication, work, and handoffs.
• Develop and standardize methodologies, processes, and workflows for silicon bringup, creating reusable checklists and playbooks.
• Drive scheduling, equipment, and material logistics to support ambitious NPI and production schedules.
• Lead post-action reviews and convert learnings into concrete process improvements for future silicon and solution bringups.
• Contribute to post-silicon learnings that feed back into architecture, design, and pre-silicon validation to improve the next generation.
• Serve as the central point of contact for bringup timeline status, risks, and mitigations for leadership.

Requirements:

• MS in Engineering or related field, or equivalent experience.
• 10+ years of experience leading complex, multi-site technical programs in semiconductor, SoC, or system/platform development.
• Proven experience influencing decisions and leading multi-functional teams in a fast-paced, highly technical environment.
• Background in silicon or system bringup.
• Strong leadership and problem-solving skills with the ability to think strategically about end-to-end silicon solution readiness and tactically about day-to-day execution.
• Enthusiastic, responsive, and passionate about process improvement, with a track record of identifying gaps and driving better methodologies.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; able to align diverse collaborators and drive clear, timely decisions.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience with first-silicon bringup, post-silicon validation, or silicon debug for complex chips and or systems.
• Experience driving transitions from NPI to HVM, including readiness criteria, sign-off processes, and ramp optimization.
• Familiarity with lab operations, validation infrastructure, and common tools used in hardware bringup.
