We are looking to hire a Senior System Test Engineer with a strong background in embedded and automotive systems who will work in the test solutions group at NVIDIA developing manufacturing test solutions for Embedded and Automotive products. Through HW and SW expertise, you will explore challenging areas of test coverage and test automation to find the right solutions.

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to solve, that only we can pursue, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence. Make the choice to join our growing team today!

What You Will Be Doing

  • Investigate and introduce new manufacturing test technology and methodology to improve production efficiency.
  • Develop test strategy for new product features including identification, specification, design and qualification of test fixtures, test equipment and diagnostic software.
  • Review and provide feedback for DFT in the early design stages.
  • Debug complex hardware and software issues during build phases
  • Contribute to automated diagnostic generation and validation infrastructure.
  • Travel to CM sites, both local and overseas to provide on-site support for builds and factory operations as necessary.

What We Need To See

  • 5 years of experience with post-silicon validation experience in Board or System level products
  • BS Degree or equivalent experience.
  • Experience working with manufacturing test programs at platform or system level.
  • Proficiency in Python programming and experience with Linux operating systems. Familiarity with version control systems, particularly GitLab
  • Understanding of hardware and system-level concepts in embedded and automotive environments. Background working with embedded and automotive systems.
  • Familiarity with RF principles and testing methodologies. Knowledge of wireless communication standards (e.g., 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) and Hands-on experience with RF testers and analyzers is a plus.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication skills.

With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, we are widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. If you're a creative and autonomous engineer with a real passion for technology, we want to hear from you. Come build the future with us!

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 132,000 USD - 207,000 USD.
