HSIO Validation Engineer

What you’ll be doing:

• Drive the planning and execution of PCIe/NVLINK/C2C or similar HSIO interfaces across functional bring‑up, system‑level validation, productization, and troubleshooting for NVIDIA GPUs, CPUs, and SOCs.
• Drive schedule, programming guides, customer critical issues, manufacturing yield improvements, and design feedback. Investigate technically complicated HSIO bugs and help drive debug efforts across various teams.
• Coordinate with logic design, circuit design, board design, simulation, diagnostics, ATE, firmware, driver, and marketing teams to drive the chip into production.
• Develop new methodologies to improve the silicon validation process, helping meet upcoming industry standards for performance, adaptability, and safety.
• Ensure interoperability with connected devices and system components in sophisticated interconnect topologies.
• Engage proactively with multi‑functional engineering teams, including system architects, mixed‑signal design, DGX, software/firmware, hardware/software quality assurance, operations, and application engineering, to facilitate the design, development, troubleshooting, and release of upcoming products.

• BS or MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience) and a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience.
• In‑depth understanding of PCIe (or similar) protocol and characterization/validation methods in a post‑silicon environment.
• Excellent knowledge of signal‑integrity concepts, silicon characteristics, and high‑speed/SERDES functional validation.
• Good knowledge of lab equipment (DSOs, BERT, protocol/logic analyzers) and hands‑on post‑Si bring‑up, functional validation of HSIO interfaces.
• Understanding of firmware/driver structures and their interaction with HW.
• Strong in scripting languages (Perl, Python) to write direct test/debug programs for stress and failure analysis.
• Strong project management, collaboration, and communication skills.
