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 address, 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. Design-for-X Engineering at NVIDIA works on groundbreaking innovations involving crafting creative solutions in AI for Chip Design and AI for Predictions in various use cases in manufacturing testing on some of the industry's most complex semiconductor chips. **What you 'll be doing:** * As a senior member in our team, you will work on innovating in the DFX Power, Thermal & Voltage Noise Methodology areas. * This will include working on groundbreaking low power & thermal solutions for our manufacturing tests to be enabled at conditions that push the boundaries for our datacenter GPUs. * You will work with multi-functional teams including Product Development & Power Architecture, implementing brand-new methodologies on hard-to-solve problems for improving our outgoing quality of chips. * You will work on post-silicon data analysis for power to architect the next-gen solutions. * In addition, you will help develop and deploy DFT methodologies for our next generation products using Applied ML & Gen AI solutions. * You will also help mentor junior engineers on test designs and trade-offs including cost and quality. **What we need to see:** * BSEE (or equivalent experience) with 12+, MSEE with 10+, or PhD with 6+ years of experience in DFT design & power * Understanding of fundamental DFT topics and VLSI areas of power, timing & voltage noise * Experience in Power Analysis, Thermal Analysis & IR Drop tools is a plus.
