Senior Silicon Circuit Validation Engineer

Silicon Co-Design EngineerNVIDIA's chips define the ceiling of what silicon can do. But raw performance is only part of the story. The circuits that make a product trustworthy — the ones that enforce security boundaries, catch failures before they propagate, extend silicon lifetime under the hardest workloads, and unlock the last margin of performance safely — these are the circuits that determine whether a product ships or stalls, earns trust or loses it. This role co-designs them. The Silicon Co-Design Group owns the boundary between design intent and silicon reality. When a product ships at frequency, at quality, and with the reliability the world's AI infrastructure demands, this team is a reason why. You will be the engineer who knows what these circuits are actually doing. Safety, security, reliability, and performance enhancement features are not decorative. They sit on the critical path of every product decision — binning, guard-banding, sign-off, field quality. When one of them doesn't behave the way the model predicted, the consequences reach further than a single block. You find out why. You close the gap between design intent and silicon reality, and your data is what architecture, circuit design, and product teams act on. The engineers who do this well don't just measure circuits — they understand them deeply enough to know what a deviation means before anyone else does. They think like circuit designers, work like experimentalists, and reason like data scientists. If that describes you, read on.

The circuits you co-design don't just enhance performance — they define whether the product is safe, secure, and reliable enough to ship. When they work, the product earns trust at scale. When they don't, everything downstream is at risk. If that is the kind of problem you want to own, we want to hear from you. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and other objective job-related factors. The expected base salary range for this position is 168,000 USD – 264,500 USD.You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
