NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to resolve, that only we can seek, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human inventiveness and intelligence.

NVIDIA Silicon Solutions Group is seeking a versatile engineer to be part of a Silicon HW team. As a member of this team, you are responsible for developing and validating silicon system level features with a deep understanding of products needs that will get delivered to across our various businesses.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Develop chip and system level power features to address existing and new product opportunities/requirements. Prototype features on existing silicon, lead technical return-on-investment investigations, create/maintain feature bring-up plans for new silicon and participate in bring-up execution.

  • Lead debug efforts from HW side to root cause feature sequences bugs, silicon bugs and complex system level issues caused by interactions between multiple HW and SW features.

  • Craft creative solutions and workarounds for complex bugs through understanding of design, effective use of debug tools, and thoughtful data analysis.

  • Support manufacturing and customer facing teams to expertly address production needs and issues on the relevant features.

  • Work closely and proactively with other engineering teams such as system architects, chip and board designers, software/firmware engineers, HW/SW QA teams and Applications engineering teams to drive design, development, debug and release of next generations products.

What We Need To See:

  • BS or MS degree in EE/CE or equivalent experience

  • 8+ years of experience with develop/validate/debug power savings features, energy/power optimizations, data centers, and system power management.

  • Strong EE fundamentals, knowledgeable in digital design, computer architecture, power analysis, timing analysis, fault analysis, sampling, statistics, and scripting

  • Deep understanding of firmware/driver structures and their interaction with HW.

  • Working knowledge of PVT dependencies and binning methodologies.

  • Hands-on validation lab experience with silicon bringup, lab debug and lab tools (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers).

  • Effective in a collaborative environment.

With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We welcome you join our team with some of the most hard-working people in the world working together to promote rapid growth.
