About the opportunity
NVIDIA Silicon Co-design Group is seeking a versatile engineer to join the HW ArchDev Methodology team.
SCG operates across the full product lifecycle—from early architecture definition through silicon bring-up to production—providing a unique end-to-end perspective on next-generation systems.
You define how validation is done, shaping methods for chips that do not yet exist.
The team sits at the intersection of architecture, silicon bring-up, and production, building validation strategies, automation frameworks, and telemetry systems that determine whether next-generation GPUs and AI accelerators ship on time and at quality.
Key responsibilities
- Design system-level validation strategies for complex architectures, corner cases, PVT, large-scale behavior, and feature interactions.
- Build AI-assisted and data-driven validation workflows that improve coverage, debug turnaround, and efficiency.
- Profile real workloads including training, inference, HPC, video, and emerging applications.
- Deploy automation and telemetry pipelines that scale across products and teams.
- Drive silicon bring-up and root-cause debug with reusable, high-leverage methods.
Qualifications
- BS/MS in EE/CE or equivalent experience.
- 4+ years in silicon bring-up, ASIC validation, or system-level debug.
- Grounding in PVT, timing (STA), signal integrity, power, and high-speed IO (PCIe, chip-to-chip).
- Understanding of firmware/driver-hardware interaction.
- Experience or curiosity around data-driven workflows, telemetry, and AI/LLM-assisted development.
- Ability to thrive in a collaborative environment.
Nice to have
- Applied AI/ML or LLMs to validation, debug automation, or workload analysis.
- Built infrastructure others still use, such as pipelines, observability systems, and debug tools.
- Artifacts including postmortems, test methods, tools, papers, or dashboards.
- Experience driving cross-functional work across architecture, firmware, validation, and manufacturing.
Benefits
- Base salary range of 136,000 USD - 218,500 USD, determined by location, experience, and peer pay.
- Eligibility for equity.
- Comprehensive benefits package.
Job details
- Location: Hybrid (#LI-Hybrid).
- Application deadline: Accepted at least until October 17, 2026.
- Posting type: Existing vacancy.
