Senior Dft Methodology - Data Analytics and Applied AI Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA

This role focuses on applying AI/ML methods to Design-for-Test (DFT) engineering within NVIDIA's semiconductor chip development. The engineer will work with pre-silicon and post-silicon data analytics, design data pipelines, and collaborate with cross-functional teams. Key responsibilities include applying algorithm design, statistical analysis, and Applied AI methods to solve complex DFT problems and developing/deploying DFT methodologies using Gen AI solutions. The role requires experience with data analytics, ML, SQL, ETL, cloud platforms, and programming languages like Python.

What you'd actually do

  1. As a senior member in our team, you will work with pre-silicon and post-silicon data analytics - visualization, insights and modeling.
  2. Design and uphold sturdy data pipelines and ETL processes for the ingestion and processing of DFX Engineering data from various origins
  3. Lead engineering efforts by collaborating with cross-functional teams (execution, analytics, data science, product) to define data requirements and ensure data quality and consistency
  4. You will work on hard-to-solve problems in the Design For Test space which will involve application of algorithm design, using statistical tools to analyze and interpret complex datasets and explorations using Applied AI methods.
  5. In addition, you will help develop and deploy DFT methodologies for our next generation products using Gen AI solutions.
