What this role is
This role owns the validation and bring-up of NVIDIA's next-generation silicon from first power-on through production release, building the test infrastructure, automation, and methodologies that catch hardware-software integration issues before they reach customers. It suits experienced hardware engineers who thrive at the boundary between architecture and reality, combining deep technical fundamentals with the ability to redesign team workflows and deploy AI-assisted tooling to accelerate silicon validation.
