High Speed IO Validation Engineer

NVIDIA Silicon Solutions group is seeking a versatile engineer to be part of a High Speed Interconnect validation team. You will dive into high-speed interconnects like PCIe, NVLINK, C2C -  perform bringup. validation and interop across various end user scenarios, with strong emphasis stability and efficiency. This position offers the opportunity to have real impact in a dynamic, technology-focused company impacting product lines ranging from artificial intelligence, consumer graphics, self-driving cars, and more

What you’ll be doing:

• Develop strategies and infrastructure for next generation HSIO (PCIe, Coherency Interfaces) bring up, validation and product integration with a deep understanding of IO design, specs, use case and topologies.

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

• Ready to deep dive into technically challenging HSIO bugs and help drive debug efforts across various teams

• Work on system level power strategies to continue pushing performance in power constrained systems

• Work closely and proactively with other engineering teams such as system architects,  mixed signal and design, DGX, software/firmware, HW/SW QA, operations and AE teams to drive design, development, debug and release of next generations products.

What we need to see:

• BS or MS degree in EE/CE or equivalent experience

• Minimum 3 years working in post-silicon bring up, IO validation, and/or power optimizations on High Speed IOs for datacenter and Automotive ecosystems.

• Experience with HSIOs like PCIE or USB including understanding of process/temp/voltage sensitivity on BER

• Experience with system level and interconnect power management optimizations.

• Background of electrical tuning/performance/challenges of HSIOs

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

• Hands-on validation lab experience with silicon bring-up, lab debug and lab tools (oscilloscopes, multi-meters, logic analyzers)

• Strong EE fundamentals, knowledgeable in computer architecture, high speed interfaces, timing analysis, process variations, statistical error rates and power analysis.

• Excellent problem solving, teamwork, and interpersonal skills.

• Background with automation scripting in languages such as Perl, Python, tcl.

• Experience with Linux
