Silicon Power Engineer

NVIDIA is seeking a highly motivated Hardware Engineer to join our multifaceted and fast-paced Silicon Solutions Group!

Artificial intelligence is changing the world significantly starting with the technologies used in our day to day lives, cars we drive, autonomous machines in agriculture farms & factories, smart cities and science & technology development activities. GPUs are providing spectacular speed ups to scientific and medical research, enabling the advancement of humanity like never before. There has never been a more exciting time to work in NVIDIA.

As part of the Silicon Solutions Team, we architect and deliver groundbreaking solutions for productizing NVIDIA's chips into consumer, professional, server, embedded, mobile, and automotive markets. Silicon characterization, correlation to arch & design expectations, finalize product specifications, develop productization techniques and infrastructure around it is our day to day work. Dealing with challenges of the brand-new process node technologies is also included in the work profile.

What You Will Be Doing

• As a Silicon Power engineer for NVIDIA's family of chips and products, you will analyze pre-production silicon in pioneering process technologies for performance, power, yield, and quality to define the world's fastest products.
• Perform test case execution, debug silicon issues related to correlation and functionality, generate high quality results and provide design feedback.
• Find creative solutions to sophisticated silicon and system level problems and be on the frontline to lead show-stopper bugs, in order to enable product shipment.
• Work alongside system architects, chip and board designers, software/firmware engineers, HW/SW applications engineers, process/reliability specialists, ATE engineers, product managers, sales, and operations in a dynamic & high-energy work environment to bring industry-defining products to market.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to craft essential next generation product features that are important for performance, power optimization, and power management.
• Collaborate to craft tools for post-silicon work, build post-silicon methodologies to characterize silicon power, correlate silicon behavior with simulation.
