Full Job Description
NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over three 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 which are hard to solve, which only we can pursue, and which matter to the world. This is our life’s work: to amplify human inventiveness and intelligence. Make the choice to join us today. We are seeking an outstanding candidate for Silicon Reliability Engineer who will serve as the foundry process reliability professional for NVIDIA in utilizing cutting edge technologies to deliver high performance products while ensuring world class reliability. **What you will be doing:** * Work closely with wafer foundries and various functional groups such as Design, Advanced Technology Group and Operations to develop process reliability requirements for new technology nodes. * Drive foundries for NVIDIA’s test vehicle qualifications and process reliability improvement before taping out new products and support product bring-ups and quals. * Perform wearout reliability assessments and provide reliability guidance to design teams for Design for Reliability on the next generation products. * Provide reliability Vmax, aging guardband guidelines to product teams and develop reliability methodology to optimize product reliability performance. * Collaborate with foundries to plan and perform stress tests and build reliability models for extrinsic failure mechanisms. * Interact with foundries for excursion materials and assess a reliability risk for disposition. **What we need to see:** * Deep understanding of cutting-edge semiconductor process technologies, reliability physics, and acceleration models. * Familiar with wearout failure mechanisms (TDDB, BTI, HCI, EM, SM) and models, wafer level reliability tes
