Silicon Co-Design Engineer
NVIDIA
About the Role
NVIDIA is seeking a Silicon Co-Design Engineer for the New College Grad 2026 program. This role involves productizing NVIDIA's chips into various solutions and requires comfort in a lab environment with a passion for silicon validation.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and implement methodologies to characterize silicon and validate system features on pre-production silicon.
- Drive root-cause analysis efforts of hardware failures through lab experimentation and collaboration with other teams.
- Find innovative solutions to sophisticated silicon and system-level problems to productize silicon and refine future designs.
- Analyze workloads like DL/AI, AAA games, Adobe Suite, and Video Conferencing to understand and improve energy efficiency.
- Characterize pre-production silicon for speed, performance, power, yield, and quality to draw correlation to design.
- Design or commission tools on evaluation platforms to automate and optimize characterization, data collection, test case execution, and results analysis.
- Analyze workloads to achieve best-in-class energy efficiency and evaluate the return on investment of new techniques and features.
Requirements & Tech Stack
- Python, JavaScript, C/C++
- Understanding of digital design, circuit analysis, algorithms, computer architecture, BIOS, drivers, and software applications.
- Problem-solving, debugging, analysis, and logical reasoning skills.
- Familiarity with lab tools like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
Qualifications
- Completing a BS, MS, or PhD degree in EE, CE, Systems Engineering, or equivalent experience.
Ways To Stand Out
- Familiarity with statistical methods, tools for data analysis, and analyzing large datasets, possibly applying deep learning techniques.
- Knowledgeable in signal integrity, timing analysis, fault analysis, sampling, computer architecture, and filters.
- Experience in Database and Web Development is a plus.
