Senior DFT Engineer

NVIDIA•Us, CA

13d•Hybrid

About The Position

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to solve, that only we can tackle, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence. Make the choice to join us today. NVIDIA’s DFX team is looking for an exceptional DFT Engineer to help shape the future of compute. As stewards of the entire Scan Test Lifecycle, we drive innovation for the most advanced silicon in the world—spanning 2.5D/3D AI data center platforms, Gaming and Enterprise GPUs, and complex SOCs powering Autonomous Machines, Robotics, and Industrial systems. You will innovate at scale, designing and prototyping breakthrough Test Architectures for reticle sized, multi-chiplet products—from RTL to verification to post-silicon ATE bring-up. Join a globally recognized team that consistently delivers breakthrough performance across multiple high-impact tape-outs each year.
