Senior Pre-Silicon Switch Technical Lead

NVIDIA is looking for a best-in-class engineer for an exciting role as a pre-silicone technical leader capable of leading complicated pre-si programs while fine-tuning existing and defining new methodology processes. Be a key player in the networking hardware and software development path and contribute to the latest breakthroughs in high performance networking appliances. Lead the pre-si technical programs from initial MRD presentations through "all hands" bring up events towards final customer samples release. Pave the way to improved methodology and streamline processes. We develop SW and FW pre-silicone features, solutions and tools for next-generation ASICs, and orchestrate the pre-silicone process and ASICs bring-up events.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading a multi-functional cross org team, responsible for ensuring critical software and firmware is ready to support the bringup of new Switch ASICs
• Driving technical issue resolution to enable single day silicon bring up on multiple SW/HW layer while meeting aggressive product schedules.
• Drive, improve and introduce in-team and cross-team processes to guarantee high quality pre-silicon execution.
• Interface and drive pre-silicon issues across multi-functional teams: Product Management, Architecture, Software Design and Verification, System Hardware and Software, System and IC product engineering teams and others. Drive technical sessions with multi-functional teams to track & follow-up on issues, progress and escalations.
• Focused issue reporting, bug tracking, and communication of pre-si technical program risks & status.
