Full Job Description

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 solve, that only we can seek, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence. Make the choice to join us today. We are now looking for a highly motivated DFT Engineer to join this multifaceted and innovative hardware team at NVIDIA. Our Design-for-Test Engineering team works on groundbreaking innovations involving crafting creative solutions for DFT architecture, verification and post-silicon validation on some of the industry's most sophisticated semiconductor chips. **What you 'll be doing:** * In this highly technical role, you will work on end-to-end DFT for the most sophisticated chips in the world, from methodology, to deployment to post-silicon lifecycle support. * Partner with the top EDA tool vendors to develop new capabilities to support NVIDIA requirements, and with internal CAD to drive efficiency via automations. * Work with NVIDIA VLSI and Operations teams to deliver the scan feature in all product segments at NVIDIA. * Help mentor junior engineers on test designs and trade-offs including cost and quality. **What we need to see:** * Pursuing a BSEE or MSEE (or equivalent experience). * Knowledge in defining scan test plans, BIST including memories and IOs, fault modeling, ATPG and fault simulation. * Excellent analytical skills in verification and validation of test patterns and logic on sophisticated and multi-million gate designs using vendor tools. * Good exposure to multiple domains including RTL & clocks design, STA, place-n-route and power, to ensure we are making the right trade-offs. * Experience in Sil
