Senior DFT Power Methodology Engineer

NVIDIA•Us, CA

About The Position

Design-for-X Engineering at NVIDIA works on groundbreaking innovations involving crafting creative solutions in AI for Chip Design and AI for Predictions in various use cases in manufacturing testing on some of the industry's most complex semiconductor chips. As a senior member in our team, you will work on innovating in the DFT Power, Thermal & Voltage Noise Methodology areas. This will include working on groundbreaking low power & thermal solutions for our manufacturing tests to be enabled at conditions that push the boundaries for our datacenter GPUs. Partner with multi-functional teams including Product Development & Power Architecture, implementing brand-new methodologies on hard-to-solve problems for improving our outgoing quality of chips. You will work on post-silicon data analysis for power to architect the next-gen solutions. In addition, you will help develop and deploy DFT methodologies for our next generation products using Applied ML & Gen AI solutions. Help mentor junior engineers on test designs and trade-offs including cost and quality.
