About the role
NVIDIA's Silicon Co-Design Group is seeking a versatile engineer to join the High Speed SERDES IO electrical validation team, driving characterization and debug for IO interconnects across silicon, board, firmware, and driver. The role focuses on industry-leading high-speed interconnects such as PCIe, USB3, Ethernet, and UFS, performing bring-up and electrical validation while leveraging AI-assisted workflows, automation, and advanced analytics to enhance validation quality and engineering efficiency. This position offers the opportunity to influence product lines spanning artificial intelligence, consumer graphics, self-driving cars, and more.
What you will do
- Execute electrical validation for PCIe, Ethernet, USB3, and UFS interfaces for NVIDIA GPUs, CPUs, and SOCs, ensuring adherence to signal integrity standards.
- Engage with cross-functional engineering teams to facilitate the design and development process, leveraging your knowledge of firmware/driver interactions and circuit design.
- Analyze complex HSIO bugs by applying strong debugging techniques and collaborating with various teams for rapid resolution.
- Diagnose issues and validate high-speed interfaces using modern lab equipment, including DSOs and BERT, with expert-level proficiency.
- Develop and apply test/debug programs using scripting languages (such as Perl and Python) to perform stress and failure analysis on high-speed interfaces.
- Innovate methodologies that leverage AI-assisted workflows and data-driven analytics to enhance debugging efficiency and improve validation quality.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- BS or MS in Electronics Engineering (or equivalent experience) with at least 3 years of relevant experience.
- Deep high-speed/SERDES electrical validation and tuning experience, with strong SI and PI fundamentals — S-parameters, eye diagrams, channel margin, crosstalk, return loss, PDN noise, jitter decomposition — and validation experience across silicon and platform boundaries (CoWoS/interposer/substrate, board), translating rack-environment effects into silicon/board characterization.
- Expert-level proficiency in electrical validation of PCIe (or similar) protocols, hands-on with lab equipment (DSOs, BERT, protocol analyzers), and scripting skills (Perl, Python) for developing test/debug programs.
- Proven experience in building AI solutions specifically in the context of electrical and silicon validation, including designing and implementing AI-assisted workflows and automation frameworks to enhance engineering productivity and validation quality.
