NVIDIA Silicon Codesign Group is seeking a versatile engineer to join 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 architecture definition, through bringup, to product release.

What Will You Be Doing

  • Led end-to-end planning and on-time execution of Nvidia's new chip bringup effort, from pre-silicon through production deployment.
  • Coordinate multi-functional teams across Architecture, Build, Validation, DFT, SW, System, and Operations to drive shared bringup achievements.
  • Improve cross-team communication, work, and handoffs.
  • 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 learnings into concrete process improvements for future silicon and solution bringups.
  • 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.

What We Need To See

  • 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 collaborators and drive clear, timely decisions.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

  • 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.
