NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It's a unique legacy of innovation that's fueled by great technology-and amazing people. Today, we're tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what's never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world's best talent. As a NVIDIAN, you'll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.

NVIDIA Silicon Codesign Group is seeking a versatile engineer to be part of the HW bring-up methodology team. The SCG team is uniquely positioned to have an end-to-end view of the product development cycle - from early arch definition, through bringup, to product release.

Job Description

What will you be doing:

• Led end-to-end planning and on-time execution of Nvidias new chip bringup effort, from pre-silicon through production deployment. • Coordinate multi-functional teams across Architecture, Design, Validation, DFT, SW, System, and Operations to drive shared bringup milestones. • Improve cross-team communication, coordination, and handoffs between teams. • Develop and standardize methodologies, processes, and workflows for silicon bringup, creating reusable checklists and playbooks. • Drive scheduling, equipment, and material logistics to support ambitious NPI and production schedules. • Lead post-action reviews and convert key findings into concrete process improvements for future silicon and solution bring-ups. • Contribute to post-silicon learnings that feed back into architecture, design, and pre-silicon validation to improve the next generation. • Serve as the central point of contact for bringup timeline status, risks, and mitigations for leadership.

Requirements

MS in Engineering or related field, or equivalent experience. 10+ years of experience leading complex, multi-site technical programs in semiconductor, SoC, or system/platform development. Proven experience influencing decisions and leading multi-functional teams in a fast-paced, highly technical environment. Background in silicon or system bringup. Strong leadership and problem-solving skills with the ability to think strategically about end-to-end silicon solution readiness and tactically about day-to-day execution. Enthusiastic, responsive, and passionate about process improvement, with a track record of identifying gaps and driving better methodologies. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; able to align diverse interested parties and drive clear, timely decisions.

Ways to Stand Out

Hands-on experience with first-silicon bringup, post-silicon validation, or silicon debug for complex chips and or systems. Experience driving transitions from NPI to HVM, including readiness criteria, sign-off processes, and ramp optimization. Familiarity with lab operations, validation infrastructure, and common tools used in hardware bringup.
