Senior Pcie Post-silicon Validation Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA

This role is for a Senior Post-Silicon Validation Engineer at NVIDIA, focusing on validating features on silicon for industry-leading processors used in deep learning, gaming, and dedicated computing. The engineer will work with ASIC, SW, and System teams, develop post-silicon verification infrastructure, and validate design correctness. While the company is heavily involved in AI, this specific role is in hardware validation, not direct AI/ML model development.

What you'd actually do

  1. You'll implement the design the industry’s leading processor for deep learning, gaming, and dedication computing.
  2. Responsible for validation of features on Silicon using hands-on lab equipment like logic analyzers etc.
  3. Responsible for understanding the design and implementation, define the validation scope, develop the post-silicon verification infrastructure (Testplans, Tests, Scripts to analyze data), implement test/coverage plans and validate correctness of the design.
  4. You will be working multi-functionally with ASIC, SW and System teams to accomplish your tasks.
