Senior Infrastructure Automation Engineer - Silicon Co-Design Group

NVIDIA's Silicon Co-Design Group is seeking a Senior Infrastructure Automation Engineer to innovate, develop, and integrate innovative AI solutions into the design and automation infrastructure that powers our chips. Every CPU, GPU, and Tegra SoC NVIDIA has shipped in the past four years passed through our toolchain on its way to production — over 200 product SKUs were optimized during the Blackwell generation alone. Now we're rebuilding that toolchain around AI, and we're looking for the engineer to lead that charge. In this role, you will architect and implement solutions that enhance the efficiency, scalability, and intelligence of our workflows, driving initiatives from concept to deployment. If you combine deep technical expertise with a hands-on approach and an aim to push the boundaries of what's possible, this is your opportunity. At NVIDIA, we strive for perfection, encourage innovation, and provide opportunities to explore new ways to succeed!

What you'll be doing:

• Define clear vision and roadmap for productivity efficiency improvement solutions in alignment with business needs and drive execution from design through delivery.
• Lead cross-function engineering teams on project deliverables commitment to streamline the system design and verification process and workflow. You own the pipelines between tools.
• Build production-grade AI-assisted automation infrastructure for Silicon Co-Design use cases, including reliable orchestration, observability, evaluation, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop controls where needed.
• Drive Cross-function Collaboration with ASIC, SW, System Design, Product, Security, and Operations teams to ensure reliability, scalability, and performance, fostering a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and ownership.
• Drive hard debugging and root-cause analysis across infrastructure, automation, data, and HW/SW boundary issues; separate competing hypotheses, define measurement plans, and converge teams on the right fix.

What we need to see:

• MS or PHD in EE or equivalent experience.
• Strong software engineering background with 8+ years significant experience designing large-scale infrastructure, framework architecture, or developer platforms.
• Strong proficiency in Python and at least one static language (C, C++, C#, Java, Scala, etc).
• Hands-on experience in AI/ML and data analysis, preferably with exposure to large-scale datasets.
• Strong EE fundamentals, including computer architecture, high-speed interfaces, timing, power basics, and a solid understanding of firmware/driver structures and hardware interaction.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Ability to break down ambiguous technical problems, explain failure modes and edge cases, and make strong tradeoff decisions under schedule, coverage, quality, and performance constraints.
• Track record of independently driving complex, cross-functional work to closure with clear ownership and strong collaboration.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Hands-on experience with silicon bring-up, characterization, or lab debug using standard tools (e.g., oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers).
• Experience on building production AI workflow systems for engineering or infrastructure use cases, not just prototypes.
• Strong debugging instincts across distributed systems, automation pipelines, and HW/SW interactions, and can explain your hypothesis tree, measurement plan, tradeoffs, and final decision points.
• Track record of AI Experience to accelerate coding, analysis, validation, or triage with strong engineering judgment and validation discipline
