Senior Mixed Design Validation Systems - Electrical/Optical 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 lead bring-up activities and characterization of high-speed mixed signal circuits and will lead system validation with electro-optical transceivers. The ideal candidate will take full ownership of developing and driving tests, debugging unexpected bugs, and generating meaningful analysis from lab data of high-speed interfaces and modules.
What you'll be doing:
- Develop validation test suites for high-speed IOs including Ethernet and InfiniBand
- Perform deep characterization of analog, digital and mixed signal circuit blocks across process, voltage, and temperature and correlate data with simulations
- Lead and execute debug of technically challenging bugs by finding creative solutions to complex problems
- Provide feedback to designers on silicon performance, design quality, and margins
- Develop and execute test scripts to optimize end-to-end system performance of electro-optical transceivers with NVIDIA data center platforms
- Maintain focused discussions with multi-operational groups within and outside the company to optimize transceiver performance with NVIDIA platforms
- Develop tools and/or scripts to support optical and electrical characterization and bring up activities
- Take full ownership to train new engineers in validation practices
What we need to see:
- Master or PhD of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience
- Excellent collaborative and interpersonal skills are a hard requirement
- Extremely responsive to time sensitive show-stopping issues
- 5+ years of experience measuring, analyzing, and debugging complex mixed-signal designs
- Experienced in silicon bring-up, debugging and use of lab instrumentation is required
- Ability to work in a high paced environment involved with multiple bring-ups of chips, systems and transceivers
- Deep technical understanding of fundamental analog, digital and mixed signal circuits
- Experience with Python, Git, Matlab, and JMP
- Ability to code scripts for validation, debug, data analysis, and automation
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- Optical transceiver performance testing at high data rates
- Expert in data automation and analysis
- Strong hands-on lab experience in Serdes PHY characterization
