NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU 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 — with GPUs serving as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars. Today, we are increasingly known as “the AI computing company.” We are actively seeking the smartest minds to join our company and usher in the next wave of computing.

NVIDIA’s Silicon Solutions Group is responsible for crafting NVIDIA’s GPUs and So Cs into groundbreaking platforms for autonomous machines, Cloud and Data Centers, Deep learning, High-Performance Computing, Gaming, and Entertainment solutions.

What you'll be doing:

  • Drive the planning and execution of PCIe/NVLINK/C2C or similar HSIO interfaces across functional bring-up, system-level validation, productization, and troubleshooting for NVIDIA GPUs, CPUs, and SOCs.

  • Drive schedule, programming guides, customer critical issues, manufacturing yield improvements, and design feedback. Investigate technically complicated HSIO bugs and help drive debug efforts across various teams

  • Coordinate with logic design, circuit design, board design, Simulation, diagnostics, ATE, firmware, driver, and marketing teams to drive the chip into production.

  • Develop new methodologies to improve the silicon validation process, helping meet upcoming industry standards for performance, adaptability, and safety.

  • Ensure interoperability with connected devices and system components in sophisticated interconnect topologies.

  • Engage proactively with multi-functional engineering teams, including system architects, mixed-signal design, DGX, software/firmware, hardware/software quality assurance, operations, and application engineering, to facilitate the design, development, troubleshooting, and release of upcoming products.

What we need to see:

  • BS or MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience) and a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience

  • In-depth understanding of PCIe (or similar) protocol and characterization/validation methods in a post-silicon environment

  • Excellent knowledge of Signal integrity concepts, Silicon characteristics, and high-speed/SERDES functional validation

  • Good knowledge of lab equipment (DSOs, BERT, Protocol/Logic analyzers) and hands-on post-Si bring-up, functional validation of HSIO interfaces

  • Understanding of firmware/driver structures and their interaction with HW.

  • Strong in scripting languages (Perl, Python) to write direct test/debug programs for stress and failure analysis

  • Strong project management, collaboration, and communication skills

NVIDIA is leading the way in groundbreaking developments in Artificial Intelligence, High-Performance Computing, and Visualization. Our invention, the GPU, serves as the visual cortex of modern computers and is at the heart of our products and services. Our work opens up new universes to explore, enables outstanding creativity and discovery, and powers what were once science fiction inventions, from artificial intelligence to autonomous cars. NVIDIA is looking for extraordinary people like you to help us accelerate the next wave of artificial intelligence.
