Silicon Product Engineer — Manufacturing & Test

NVIDIA Corporation; Santa Clara (CA); Hybrid; USD 116,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

NVIDIA’s Silicon Co-Design Group is hiring a Silicon Product Engineer – Manufacturing in California to join the TMRQ team. You will validate and implement SLT/BLT production diagnostics, verify POR specs, and support post-silicon validation for complex GPUs, SoCs, and CPUs.

You will develop robust closed-loop analysis for VF characteristics, support spec validation across Manufacturing, and drive process improvements using data analytics and AI-enabled workflows in a hybrid, high-volume setting.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree or equivalent in Microelectronics/Electrical/Electronic/Computer Engineering or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of relevant industry experience in silicon Post-silicon PVT validation and/or high-volume manufacturing testing for complex SoCs, GPUs, CPUs, or similar.
• Hands-on lab experience with silicon bring-up, lab debug, shmoo analysis, VF characteristics, test content bring-up, and correlation to Si characterization, yield, and coverage optimization.
• Strong EE fundamentals, device physics, knowledgeable in Silicon design, statistics, STA concepts, fault analysis, sampling, and computer architecture.
• Strong data analysis skills, a learning attitude, and prior experience working with large volumes of data.
• Prior understanding of manufacturing test strategy for a major silicon product (e.g., GPU/SoC/CPU) from early planning through ramp to QS/production is a plus.
• Good understanding of firmware/driver structures and their interaction with HW.
• Problem-solving, debugging, analysis, and logical reasoning skills with examples to prove it.
• Experience with Python, BASH, Linux, and scripting.

Responsibilities

• Responsible for developing and implementing robust closed-loop analysis for VF characteristics and POR expectations vs. production screens to improve overall quality of MFG screening diags.
• Support VF/VMIN/VMAX/PVT spec validation and productization activities across Manufacturing teams and product segments.
• Partner multi-functionally with HW engineering teams such as Silicon PVT design and characterization teams, IO design and validation teams, system feature owners, SLT and BLT Production Operations, etc., to determine test coverage and constraints to resolve appropriate SLT/BLT test conditions, test content, and flows for high-volume manufacturing screens.
• Support prototyping and fine-tune speed, power, circuits, yield, and quality for effective silicon coverage in the SLT socketed environment.
• Support procedures to facilitate Silicon correlation activities between production testing infrastructure and internal Si characterization and diagnostics programs.
• Coordinate, develop, and maintain SLT/BLT testing flows, incorporating takeaways from silicon and correlating them to design for shift-left improvements.
• Initiate and drive process improvements and preventative actions through root cause analysis and data analytics.
• Partner with SW and platform teams to support and improve SLT testing infrastructure, debug knobs, and data collection features needed to support manufacturing screens effectively.
