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 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’s System Co-Design Group (SCG) team is seeking a versatile engineer to be part of a Silicon Hardware team. You will partner with silicon validation teams to capture, interpret, and refine bring‑up platform requirements, then drive alignment and reviews with the platform design team. In this role, you will shape validation platforms that support product lines spanning artificial intelligence, consumer graphics, self‑driving cars, and other cutting‑edge technologies. **What you’ll be doing:** * Create and own methodology for deriving baseline requirements for validation platforms. * Collaborate with cross‑functional silicon validation teams to understand justification, tradeoffs, and design constraints, and reflect them in platform requirements. * Ensure the bring‑up platform is fully compatible with required thermal solutions, power‑delivery configurations, and platform peripherals. * Maintain the Engineering Requirements Document (ERD) to capture and track validation platform requirements across datacenter, client, automotive, and embedded programs. * Primary interface between silicon validation teams and platform design teams, driving alignment on requirements and final implementation. **What we need to see:** * BS or MS degree in EE/CE or equivalent experience * Effective in a collaborative environment. * 8+ years working in silicon bringup, platform validation, or platform design. * Working experience in a few of the following areas:
