Senior Mixed Signal Design Validation Engineer (Finance)
NVIDIA's 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 - with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, we are increasingly known as "the AI computing company." We're looking to grow our company and build our teams with the smartest people in the world. Join us at the forefront of technological advancement.
As a member of our Mixed Signal Design Validation team, you will be responsible for the bring-up and characterization of high-speed mixed-signal circuits, in addition to performing system validation of electro-optical transceivers. The ideal candidate will take full ownership of developing and implementing tests, debugging unexpected bugs, and generating meaningful analysis from lab data of high-speed interfaces and modules.
What you'll be doing:
- Build validation test suites for high-speed I/Os and the analog circuits
- Conduct detailed characterization of analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit blocks across process, voltage, and temperature variations, and correlate the data with simulations
- Lead and drive the debugging of technically challenging issues by devising creative solutions to sophisticated problems
- Provide feedback to analog circuit designers regarding silicon performance, design quality, and margins
- Build and run test scripts to optimize overall system performance
- Lead focused discussions with cross-functional teams both within and outside the company to optimize the performance of mixed-signal circuits
- Develop tools and scripts to support electrical characterization and chip bring-up activities
- Take ownership for training new engineers in validation practices
What we need to see:
- A BS degree or equivalent experience with 8 years experience or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. Strong collaborative and interpersonal skills are essential
- Highly adaptable to time-sensitive, critical issues
- Experience in silicon bring-up, debugging, and the use of lab instrumentation is required
- Ability to work in a fast paced environment involved with multiple bring-ups of chips and systems
- In-depth technical knowledge of fundamental analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits
- Ability to write scripts for validation, debugging, data analysis, and automation
- Proficiency in Python, Git, MATLAB, and JMP
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- Comprehensive understanding of multi-protocol SerDes architecture
- In-depth understanding of measurement theory and test instruments
- Knowledge of optical transceiver performance is a plus
