Hardware Validation Engineer – Power, PCIe & Systems

Thomas To; Santa Clara (CA); Sur place; USD 108 000 - 213 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

NVIDIA is seeking a hardware validation engineer to own module and board‑level validation from bring‑up to mass production in its Santa Clara lab. You will work with cross‑functional teams to validate power, high‑speed interfaces, and system performance while building tests and automation.

The role requires hands‑on lab work, strong EE fundamentals, and experience with Python/C/C++ scripting, Linux/Windows, and a willingness to travel internationally for NPI and factory support.

Qualifications

• BS or MS in EE/CE or equivalent experience.
• EE fundamentals: strong circuit analysis, digital design, transmission lines and power supplies.
• Core validation: hands‑on experience in power validation, high‑speed IO validation, low‑speed IO, system functional and stress testing.
• Lab skills: oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, DMMs, TDR and logic/protocol analyzers.
• Design skills: schematics, PCB layout, BOM knowledge.
• Debug skills: root‑cause with measurements and first‑principles reasoning.
• Software: scripting or programming (Python or C/C++), Linux and Windows.
• Soft skills: fast learner, clear communicator across teams and time zones.
• Willingness to travel up to 8% internationally for NPI and factory support.

Responsabilités

• Own validation of module, board section or small product from first power‑on to mass production.
• Debug and root‑cause board, firmware and system issues with measurements.
• Perform power validation sequencing, load, transient and protection testing.
• Work with high‑speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, USB) using scopes and protocol analyzers.
• Conduct system stress testing across thermal, power, IO, memory and V/f corners.
• Participate in design reviews of schematics, layouts, BOMs and datasheets.
• Support NPI and production at manufacturing sites, locally and overseas.
• Collaborate with mechanical, design, EMI/EMC, software teams and vendors; validate SBIOS/VBIOS, drivers and Linux/Windows.
