Senior Electrical Validation and Compliance Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Yokneam, Israel

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Electrical Validation and Compliance Engineer to ensure next-generation networking platforms meet industry electrical standards. The role involves defining and implementing test plans, characterizing high-speed SerDes and I/O protocols, analyzing validation data, and automating lab processes using Python. The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of experience in High-Speed Electrical Compliance, expertise with lab equipment, and a deep understanding of signal integrity principles.

What you'd actually do

  1. Define and implement comprehensive electrical compliance test plans based on industry-standard specifications (e.g., IEEE 802.3, IBTA, PCI-SIG and others).
  2. Lead the characterization of high-speed SerDes and I/O protocols to ensure they meet stringent mask margins, jitter requirements, and return loss specifications.
  3. Analyse complex validation data to identify non-compliance issues. Partner closely with PHY Build, System Architecture, and Signal Integrity (SI) teams to root-cause and resolve electrical challenges.
  4. Build and develop Python-based test scripts and frameworks to automate lab validation processes, ensuring repeatable, gold-standard results.
  5. Provide technical expertise and mentorship to junior team members while maintaining meticulous documentation of validation activities and certification reports.
