Silicon Validation Engineer (RDSS Intern)

By submitting your resume, you’re expressing interest in our 2027 RDSS (Research and Development Substitute Services) program. Please confirm your eligibility with the local district office before applying the role. Most engineering careers start with tasks someone else defined, on problems someone else identified. This one doesn't. NVIDIA has reinvented computing more than once — the GPU, deep learning, the infrastructure that runs modern AI. Today, as accelerated computing reshapes every industry from healthcare to robotics to scientific discovery, the silicon that powers it has never mattered more. The Silicon Co-Design Group is where design intent becomes silicon reality, across consumer, professional, server, and automotive products. As a new graduate here, you will be in the lab on real silicon from day one — owning work, not shadowing it — and when the silicon teaches you something the model didn't predict, your findings will shape the features that go into the next chip. What you'll be doing : • Own characterization of pre-production silicon — speed, performance, power, yield, and quality — from early bring-up through production sign-off. • Define and refine features. Evaluate new silicon capabilities against real-world use cases, quantify the benefit and cost of architected features post-silicon, and provide the data that determines what gets built into future products. • Build methodologies that last.
