Senior Speed and Reliability Codesign Engineer

About the role
NVIDIA builds the accelerated computing platforms that train and run the world's largest AI models. We are the Silicon Co-Design Group and we are hiring a Senior Speed and Reliability Codesign Engineer.
Responsibilities
- Build out speed and reliability features from on-chip building blocks — on-die clocking, droop detection, and aging monitors — that protect frequency and lifetime without spending extra power or margin.
- Own design-to-silicon correlation. Tie pre-silicon predictions — VF curve, Vmin and Vmax, timing and aging margins — to measured silicon, and feed the gaps back to design.
- Verify the codesign. Prove each feature holds across voltage, temperature, process, and aging corners before tapeout — verification is part of how we design, not a later step.
- Use AI as a force multiplier. Build AI-driven flows for correlation, data analysis, and verification that compress cycle time and catch issues earlier.
- Drive decisions across the silicon-to-system boundary. Surface where a feature trades frequency or lifetime against power, yield, or area, and bring the data that settles the call.
- Collaborate with architecture, VLSI, ASIC, firmware, and product teams to bring next-generation products to market.
Requirements
- BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
- 10+ years in silicon design, performance, timing, or post-silicon speed validation, with hands-on depth in both timing and real silicon.
- A track record of taking features from concept through silicon validation, with measured results.
- Comfortable working both sides of the boundary — enough design depth to build, and enough data fluency to correlate against silicon.
- Familiarity with silicon margining and guard-banding is essential.
- Cross-functional influence, with a demonstrated ability to align architecture, design, and manufacturing without direct reporting authority.
- Excellent problem solving, partnership, and interpersonal skills.
Qualifications
- Closed the loop between predictions and silicon results, with a correlation methodology other teams adopted.
- Designed or integrated on-die sensors/actuators (droop detectors, aging monitors, adaptive clocking, telemetry).
- Datacenter-scale or high-performance silicon experience.
- Applied ML or data-driven techniques to silicon performance, reliability modeling, or design-space exploration.
- Patents, publications, or standards contributions in silicon performance or reliability.
Skills
- Experience with AI tools in recruiting processes.
Benefits
- Competitive salaries and a generous benefits package.
- Exclusive engineering teams rapidly growing due to unprecedented growth.
Pay
- Base salary range: $168,000 - $264,500 for Level 4, and $196,000 - $310,500 for Level 5.
Schedule
- Applications for this job will be accepted at least until July 11, 2026.
Company Information
- NVIDIA is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
- We highly value diversity in our current and future employees.
