IC Characterization Engineer

We are looking for a high-speed characterization engineer, to take ownership of all IC high-speed characterization efforts in NVIDIA Networking IC PE team. 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 cutting-edge technology and developing new and ambitious, results-oriented projects. What you'll be doing: • 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 ICPE 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 in Si process, voltage, temperature, etc. • We require applicants that have experience in SerDes characterization/validation, 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 are searching for hardworking 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 IC level post-SI validation, as well as IC High-speed characterization. You will also be in charge of SerDes characterization methodologies, including tuning current methodologies and introducing new ones.
