AI-Driven Silicon Validation Engineer

NVIDIA; Santa Clara (CA); On-site; USD 136,000 - 219,000; Full time

Job summary

NVIDIA Silicon Co-design Group is seeking a versatile engineer to join the HW ArchDev Methodology team.

SCG operates across the full product lifecycle—from early architecture definition through silicon bring-up to production—providing an end-to-end perspective on next-generation systems.

You will design validation strategies, build AI-assisted workflows, profile workloads, and drive silicon bring-up with scalable automation and telemetry across products and teams.

Qualifications

• BS/MS in EE/CE (or equivalent experience).
• 4+ years in silicon bring-up, ASIC validation, or system-level debug.
• Grounding in PVT, timing (STA), signal integrity, power, and high-speed IO (PCIe, chip-to-chip).
• Understanding of firmware/driver-hardware interaction.
• Experience or curiosity around data-driven workflows, telemetry, and AI/LLM-assisted development.
• Thrive in a collaborative environment.

Responsibilities

• Design system-level validation strategies for complex architectures, corner cases, PVT, large-scale behavior, feature interactions
• Build AI-assisted and data-driven validation workflows that improve coverage, debug turnaround, and efficiency
• Profile real workloads: training, inference, HPC, video, and emerging applications
• Deploy automation and telemetry pipelines that scale across products and teams
• Drive silicon bring-up and root-cause debug with reusable, high-leverage methods
