Senior Ic Foundry Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Yokneam, Israel

Senior IC Foundry Engineer at NVIDIA focused on yield and performance improvements in advanced semiconductor nodes. The role involves interfacing with foundry partners, analyzing IC parametric measurements, and developing data pipelines. While the role mentions applying AI/ML techniques, its core function is in semiconductor manufacturing and data analysis for yield optimization.

What you'd actually do

  1. Drive yield and performance improvements across advanced nodes.
  2. Serve as the key interface between NVIDIA and foundry partners, leading technical communication and driving issues to full containment.
  3. Collaborate in a matrix structure and multiple domains for comprehensive product optimization.
  4. Develop and apply data pipelines to identify yield limiters and process excursions.
  5. Build automated monitoring and alerting frameworks to proactively detect process drift.
