Senior Lab DSP Communication Engineer
NVIDIAJob Title
Senior Lab DSP Communication Engineer
Role Summary
Work at the intersection of simulation and lab validation for high-speed wireline SerDes links. The role analyzes lab measurements, refines simulation models, and helps shape DSP architecture and modeling strategies for current and next-generation designs.
Collaborate with analog and digital designers, signal-integrity experts, and post-silicon engineers to debug complex phenomena and improve chip bring-up and system-level performance.
Experience Level
Senior level. Preferably 5+ years of relevant experience in signal processing or communications engineering.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities focus on improving lab visibility, correlating measurements with simulators, and contributing to DSP and system architecture.
- Develop hardware tools and lab flows to improve debuggability and measurement visibility.
- Correlate simulation results with lab measurements to improve model accuracy.
- Characterize and evaluate analog and digital blocks in the lab to inform DSP architecture and modeling.
- Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks observed in lab testing and post-silicon bring-up.
- Work cross-functionally with designers and signal-integrity teams to ensure models reflect real system behavior.
Requirements
