Senior Hardware Post-silicon Validation Engineer

Do you want to take part in accelerating the networking solution across NVIDIA's product portfolio?

NVIDIA Co-packaged silicon-photonics group seeks a dedicated R&D engineer to join our lasers and silicon-photonics validation team.

We seek a skilled and experienced hardware or high-speed engineer to join our team.

The ideal candidate will have experience in high-speed testing of fiber-optic modules for telecom/datacom, laser development, and post-silicon verification.

In this role, you will execute post-silicon verification of electro-optical & electrical debugging of Silicon-Photonics-based chips and products of NVIDIA. You will work closely with the R&D team, with internal verification teams, architects, FW developers, board engineers, and other stakeholders to bring up, integrate, troubleshoot, diagnose, and resolve technical setups. This role requires hands-on experience and a deep understanding of high-speed transceivers, as well as excellent integration, problem-solving skills, and strong communication abilities.

What you’ll be doing:

You will lead the design of verification setups for bringing up and testing the new SiPh transceiver chips.
Develop and implement laser testing methodologies and procedures to perform laser testing and characterization, including modulation and noise measurements.
Provide technical support and assistance to manufacturers of silicon photonics testing platforms.
Troubleshoot and diagnose technical issues related to equipment, processes, and software.
Document experimental procedures, results, and findings accurately and comprehensively.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering, product development, and manufacturing, to resolve complex technical issues and implement system upgrades or modifications.

What we need to see:

BSc. Degree (MSc. an advantage) in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related fields, with more than 5 years of experience.
5+ years of relevant experience in both laser testing and in high-speed electro-optical testing.
Proven experience working in an optics and laser laboratory, preferably in a research or development environment.
Strong problem-solving, debugging, and analysis with examples to prove it.
Knowledge in signal integrity and high-speed signal measurement of electro-optical high-speed interfaces.
Experience with establishing complex high-speed lab setups. Proficient in using electro-optical & electrical measurement tools such as oscilloscope,VNA, BERT & spectrum analyzers.
Basic understanding of PCB layout and high-speed board design issues.
Strong collaborative and interpersonal skills, with an ability to successfully guide and influence.
Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities simultaneously, and work independently and demonstrate a high level of initiative and self-motivation.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Experience with highspeed transceivers verification/ validation
Post-silicon validation and/or customer on-site debug/FA
Knowledge of programming languages, such as MATLAB, Python, or LabVIEW, for data analysis and automation.
Strong knowledge of laser diode physics, fiber optic technology, and silicon photonics technology and devices.
