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 imagination and intelligence. Make the choice to join us today. Design-for-Test Engineering at NVIDIA works on groundbreaking innovations involving crafting creative solutions for DFT architecture, verification and post-silicon validation on some of the industry's most complex semiconductor chips.

-
Excellent analytical skills in verification and validation of test sequences and logic on complex and multi-million gate designs using vendor or in-house tools
-
Experience in Silicon debug and bring-up on the ATE and system level testing with an understanding of pattern formats, failure processing, and test program development
-
Proven knowledge and expertise in scan architecture, BIST including memories and IOs
-
Good exposure to cross functional areas including RTL & clocks design, STA, place-n-route and power, to ensure we are making the right trade-offs
