Senior Post-silicon Characterization Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Yokneam, Israel

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Post-Silicon Characterization Engineer to join their Networking IC Product Engineering team in Israel. The role involves characterizing Network ASIC, SOC, and SiPh ICs for speed, logic, memory, power, and analog circuits using ATE and system-level testing. Responsibilities include owning characterization of IC performance and power, developing new capabilities, defining and building tests, performing analysis, and presenting results. The ideal candidate will have a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or related field with 5+ years of experience, confirmed experience in data analysis/product engineering/yield engineering, and hands-on experience in analog and mixed-signal circuit characterization.

What you'd actually do

  1. The position includes taking ownership of characterization of IC performance and power parameters, developing new characterization and analysis capabilities, enabling the qualification of new and improvement of future products.
  2. You will define and build the required tests, perform the analysis and present the results and conclusions to a wide forum including leading designers and high-level executives.
  3. Take important part in definition of requirements for post-SI validation, as well as IC power and performance characterization.
  4. We are searching for hardworking engineers, that will lead new projects starting from the product definition phase, until the mass-production phase, working closely with several other teams, including chip design, power architecture, and BE.
