Senior Test Design Methodology Engineer

NVIDIA is the industry leader in high performance computing, gaming and AI. Our GPUs and SOCs give outstanding performance and efficiency, revolutionizing myriad fields. We revolutionized the AI world by inventing CUDA. And we are just getting started.

Silicon Solutions Group (SSG) is a wide-ranging, multi-functional team at NVIDIA. We sit at the crossroads of design, architecture, marketing and productization. Our involvement begins at the arch stage and extends to defining final products. We architect and deliver innovative solutions for various markets like Gaming, Datacenter, Servers, Automotive and Embedded. We are fast-paced, multifaceted, share a sense of humor and collaborate extensively to push the boundaries of what is possible. We do all of this with an eye on making ground-breaking impacts in the markets we serve. If this sounds like something you want to do, read on. As part of the Silicon Solutions team at NVIDIA, you will be responsible for creating new testability features and validation methodologies to optimize NVIDIA's chips into groundbreaking consumer, professional, server, mobile, and automotive solutions.

What you will be doing:

• Align manufacturing quality with product requirements and targets

• Design and prototype new features to bridge gaps between product design targets and manufacturing testability.

• Create processes that improves quality/coverage key KPIs (DPPM, failure rate trends, etc) in our production screen flows. 

• Envision highly manufacturable test flow and factory requirements to create optimized manufacturing strategies for quality/performance.

• Craft test strategies for new features, including specifications and validation of test equipment and diagnostic software.

• Develop and extend Silicon and System/SW features to control power and thermal needs. Identify opportunities and methods to optimize areas affected by thermal and power (facility power, etc).

• Build system, infrastructure and flow to monitor board level test programs to ensure alignment to specifications that affect bin split, yield, and power.

• Partner with test engineering and operations teams to implementing efficient manufacturable test solutions. 

 What we need to see:

• MS with 8+ years of experience in EE, CE, CS, Systems Engineering, or similar and experience in a related hardware engineering position or equivalent experience.

• Rich experience at manufacturing, and production testing of chips, boards, and systems.

• Knowledgeable at DPPM optimization, test coverage design to meet production requirements and manufacturing strategies for quality/performance optimization. 

• Understand DPPM needs and plan flow through entire screening process.

• Excellent problem solving, collaborative, and interpersonal skills.

• Deep understanding of product binning methods, optimization techniques, methods, trade-off analysis and tools for data analysis and statistics.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Familiarity with Test Design and DPPM optimization. 

• Familiarity with statistical methods and tools for data analysis

• A "go-getter, can get it done" attitude and independent 'out-of-box' thinking.

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. If you're creative and ambitious, we want to hear from you!
