The Role
Develop and productize NVIDIA GPUs for consumer, professional, and datacenter markets. Design final-test processes, analyze wafer and package failures, resolve yield bottlenecks, and improve test coverage, test time, and product yield. Lead cross-functional investigations involving design, foundry, DFT, testing, planning, and quality teams. Apply statistical analysis, device physics, characterization, and qualification expertise to drive complex technical problems to resolution.
Summary Generated by Built In

As one of the technology industry's most desirable employers, NVIDIA is an industry leader in high performance computing, gaming and AI. NVIDIA's GPUs are extraordinary in performance and efficiency, and we are continually innovating in creative ways to deliver outstanding solutions in a wide range of sectors.
