The candidate should be comfortable in a lab environment and demonstrate a passion for creating, executing, and improving silicon validation plans.
Responsibilities
Build and deploy AI/ML + GenAI solutions (LLMs, classical ML) to accelerate silicon co-design and validation workflows.
Develop AI assistants and agentic systems for SCG engineers using RAG, tool-calling, and fine-tuned models.
Create scalable data + MLOps pipelines to collect/curate chip design & validation data and support training, evaluation, and production deployment.
Partner with cross-functional silicon teams to identify high-impact automation opportunities, integrate solutions into existing flows, and drive measurable improvements in turnaround time and quality.
Prototype and apply modern ML techniques relevant to silicon co-design and share learnings via tech talks/knowledge sharing.
What We Need To See (Qualifications)
M.S. or Ph.D. (or completing within 6 months) in CS/EE/CE or related field or equivalent experience.
Programming: Strong Python; plus C/C++ and/or Tcl/Perl/Bash.
ML Foundation: Understanding of model development and evaluation; familiarity with Transformers/LLMs and at least one of CNN/RNN/GNN concepts.
Frameworks: Hands-on with ML framework PyTorch / TensorFlow.
Software Engineering: Strong fundamentals in Git, code reviews, testing, CI/CD, documentation.
Skills: Strong debugging/problem-solving, ability to handle ambiguity, and effective communication/collaboration across HW/SW teams.
Motivation: Interest in applying AI to semiconductor co-design/validation problems and learning the domain quickly.
Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd
Familiarity with statistical methods, tools for data analysis, and analyzing large datasets to draw actionable conclusions, possibly applying deep learning techniques.
Knowledgeable in signal integrity, timing analysis, fault analysis, sampling, computer architecture, filters.
Familiar with lab tools (oscilloscopes and logic analyzers).
Experience in Database and Web Development is a plus!
With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We welcome you to join our team with some of the most hard-working people in the world working together to promote rapid growth.
