Senior Silicon Test & Validation Engineer (Manufacturing)

NVIDIA; United States; Hybrid; USD 190,000 - 310,000; Full time

Job summary

NVIDIA is seeking a DFP Engineer – Manufacturing to define and implement validation and screening of new silicon features within high‑volume manufacturing. You will translate product requirements into executable test methodologies, infrastructure, and detailed test plans that ensure quality and efficiency at scale.

You will lead end‑to‑end DFP development, drive cross‑functional alignment, and embed testability into design to enable robust screening.

Qualifications

• MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 6+ years in silicon post‑silicon validation and/or high‑volume manufacturing test for complex SoCs/GPUs/CPUs.
• Hands‑on experience with test content bring‑up, limit setting, correlation to characterization, yield/coverage optimization.
• Proficiency with scripting and data analysis (Python, MATLAB, R, SQL).
• Ability to drive multi‑functional alignment around plans, dependencies, and sign‑off criteria.
• Excellent communication and ability to author structured technical documents and test plans.

Responsibilities

• Own end‑to‑end manufacturing test methodology across all test stages.
• Translate system specs and product POR into DFP requirements, test content, coverage, and flows.
• Define and maintain the DFP roadmap, including infrastructure and turning point planning.
• Partner multi‑functionally to implement test content, debug hooks, and coverage improvements.
• Drive alignment on manufacturability, test time, binning strategies, and cost vs. coverage trade‑offs.
• Embed testability requirements into design to enable robust screening and debug.
• Define data and analytics frameworks to support yield analysis and continuous improvement.
• Lead DFP documentation as the single source of truth and feed findings into future methodologies.
