Manager, Silicon Circuit Co-Design - Silicon Co-Design Group
NVIDIAJob Title
Manager, Silicon Circuit Co-Design - Silicon Co-Design Group
Role Summary
Lead the Circuit Co-Design function within the Silicon Co-Design Group to close simulation-to-silicon gaps, ensure reliability and performance of critical silicon circuits, and drive production readiness across programs.
The role combines technical leadership, team building, and cross-functional coordination across circuit design, VLSI, PDN, firmware, reliability, and architecture teams.
Experience Level
Senior - typically requires 10+ years in silicon validation, circuit co-design, or post-silicon characterization, including at least 3 years leading technical teams.
Responsibilities
Manage a technical team and define the methods that ensure circuits meet reliability, noise, and performance targets in real silicon.
- Lead a team of senior engineers across silicon bring-up, post-silicon validation, and circuit co-design for reliability, safety, and performance features.
- Set technical direction: define characterization methods, close simulation-to-silicon gaps, quantify noise and dI/dt margins, analyze aging and reliability, and drive fixes to confirmation.
- Make program-level technical decisions when reliability, noise, or power-integrity issues impact product readiness.
- Hire, develop, and retain engineers with depth in circuit co-design, power integrity, noise characterization, reliability physics, and post-silicon validation.
- Coordinate cross-functionally to convert technical intersections into decisions and actions.
Requirements
Must-have technical and leadership qualifications.
- 10+ years in silicon validation, circuit co-design, or post-silicon characterization, with at least 3 years leading technical teams.
- Deep circuit fundamentals (analog, digital, mixed-signal) and strong expertise in power integrity, noise analysis, dI/dt characterization, and reliability/aging mechanisms.
- Hands-on experience with substrate and supply noise analysis, PDN design and mitigation, and diagnosing silicon reliability mechanisms.
- Proven track record hiring, developing, and retaining strong engineering talent.
- Ability to maintain technical depth while managing across multiple programs and stakeholders.
- Nice-to-have: experience building or scaling a circuit co-design or reliability organization; personally resolving production-critical failures involving noise, dI/dt, aging, or power integrity; experience adopting AI-driven validation or co-design flows.
Education Requirements
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
