Senior Speed Characterization Engineer - Silicon Co-Design Group

NVIDIA silicon runs the world's AI infrastructure. The frequency it delivers across every voltage, process corner, and workload is not assumed. It is measured, correlated, and validated. This role does that work. The Silicon Co-Design Group is where architecture intent becomes silicon reality. We own the boundary between what was designed and what was built, and we are the team that knows the difference. When a program ships at frequency and at quality, this team is a reason why. You will be the person who follows through between simulation and silicon. When the model is wrong, a frequency corner that doesn't hold, a Vmin that walks, a critical path that timing analysis missed, you find out why, and your data is what the rest of the program acts on. Architecture, design, and product teams do not guess. They use your numbers. The engineers who do this well are rare. They think like circuit designers, work like experimentalists, and reason like data scientists. If that is you, read on. What you'll be doing: Own silicon speed characterization from first power-on through production sign-off, covering frequency, Vmin, Vmax, and timing margins across the full PVT space. Close the correlation gap. Tie pre-silicon timing analysis and critical path predictions to measured silicon, quantify where the model diverges from reality, and produce analysis that architecture and design can act on with confidence.
