Senior Post Silicon High-speed Characterization Engineer

NVIDIA Networking business unit is searching for a Post Si high-speed characterization engineer. This engineer would have ownership of all IC high-speed characterization efforts in NVIDIA Networking IC PE team. We require a hardworking, driven, passionate engineer, who thrives in high-paced and dynamic environments and closes tasks quickly within a short time.

What you'll be doing:

You will be characterizing the dependence of high-speed performance indicators in process variations, voltage margins, and temperature. We are looking for an engineer to bring new capabilities of high-speed signal characterization to the post-silicon group, enabling deeper understanding and improved margin-setting of high-speed tests in NVIDIA ICs.

The position includes leading of the characterization of IC high-speed domain, both on ATE and system platforms. Investigating TX, Rx, and PLL parameters and their dependence on Si process, voltage, and temperature.

We require applicants that have experience in SerDes characterization/validation, and are familiar with the measurement tools (sampling scope, spectrum analyzer, BERT,…) as well as debug techniques and ATE platforms. Candidates are expected to define methodologies, analyze results and present them to a large forum.

We require engineers that will lead new projects starting from the product definition phase, until the mass-production phase, working closely with several other teams, including chip design, PHY teams, BE, and FW/SW!

Lead the definition of requirements for post-SI high-speed characterization, and be in charge of SerDes characterization methodologies, including tuning current methodologies and introducing new ones.

We offer a dynamic, exciting work environment, with many new learning experiences and interactions with people from different aspects of the company! We have some of the best engineers in the communication field from across the world, working on advanced technologies and developing new and exciting projects.

What we need to see:

BSc in electrical engineering

Experience of over 5 years in SerDes/High-speed validation/characterization.

Detailed understanding of debug methods and high-speed signal validation tools and methods.

Strong problem-solving abilities and out-of-the-box thinking.

Task-force leading experience

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Hands-on experience with scopes and lab equipment

FW Programming experience

Experience on ATE

Knowledge of process/ temperature/voltage effect on digital vs. analog circuits.
