Job summary

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Silicon Product Definition Engineer to turn complex silicon and system data into decisions that maximize performance, power efficiency, yield, and quality. Define configurations, identify constraints, and drive optimization from bring-up through production.

The role requires 8+ years in silicon product definition, with strong Python and data-analysis skills, plus experience collaborating across architecture, design, validation, and manufacturing.

Qualifications

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 8+ years of experience in silicon product definition, post-silicon characterization, product engineering, or performance and power analysis for GPU, CPU, SoC, or other complex silicon products.
• Hands-on experience with silicon bring-up, performance-per-watt analysis, optimization across process, voltage, and temperature conditions.
• Strong programming and data-analysis skills using Python and one or more of Perl, JMP, SQL, or equivalent tools, with practical knowledge of statistics and large-dataset manipulation.

Responsibilities

• Own product-definition analysis across performance, power, yield, and quality, using large silicon datasets to identify product opportunities, risks, and trade-offs.
• Drive product-specific configurations by isolating frequency-power and thermal-limiting constraints and translating findings into silicon, firmware, BIOS, driver, and platform changes.
• Build statistical models, automation, and visualization workflows that improve decision quality.
• Partner with Tools and Methodology teams to left-shift data modeling, test procedures, and closed-loop analysis infrastructure from post-silicon learning into future programs.
• Lead multi-functional root-cause closure with architecture, design, validation, software/firmware, applications engineering, manufacturing, and operations teams from bring-up through production.
• Evaluate performance-per-watt, process-voltage-temperature behavior, yield, and quality trade-offs, and drive productized fixes through implementation and confirmation.
• Translate complex silicon and system signals into crisp, decision-ready options that give executive leadership clarity on product configuration, performance targets, and program-impacting risks.
