Applied AI Engineer for Design-for-Test (DFT) and VLSI

Applied AI Engineer - DFT Methodology

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself. Our invention of the GPU sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. Today, research in artificial intelligence is booming worldwide, which calls for highly scalable and massively parallel computation horsepower that NVIDIA GPUs excel.

NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to solve, that only we can address, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work , to amplify human creativity and intelligence. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join our diverse team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world! Design-for-Test Engineering at NVIDIA works on groundbreaking innovations involving crafting creative solutions for DFT architecture, verification, and post-silicon validation on some of the industry's most complex semiconductor chips.

What you'll be doing:

• As an integral member in our team, you will work on exploring Applied AI solutions for DFX and VLSI problem statements.

• Architect end-to-end generative AI solutions with a focus on LLMs, RAGs & Agentic AI workflows.

• Work on deploying predictive ML models for efficient Silicon Lifecycle Management of NVIDIA's chips.

• Collaborate closely with various VLSI & DFX teams to understand their language-related engineering challenges and design tailored solutions.

• Partner closely with cross-functional AI teams to provide feedback and contribute to the evolution of generative AI technologies.

• Work closely with DFX teams to integrate Agentic AI workflows into their applications and systems and stay abreast of the latest developments in language models and generative AI technologies.

• Define how data will be collected, stored, consumed and managed for next-generation AI use cases.

• You will also help mentor junior engineers on test designs and trade-offs including cost and quality.

What we need to see:

• BSEE or MSEE from reputed institutions with 2+ years of experience in DFT, VLSI & Applied Machine Learning

• Experience in Applied ML solutions for chip design problems
