Ways to stand out from the crowd: * Background in gaming, automotive, or datacenter segments. * Experience building or deploying AI-assisted characterization, log analysis, or debug automation workflows in a production silicon environment. * Familiarity with LLM evaluation, prompt engineering, or agentic scripting pipelines applied to silicon data analysis. ## Description SCG sits at the crossroads of design, architecture, marketing, and productization-owning the journey from the architecture stage through final product definition across Gaming, Datacenter, Automotive, and Embedded markets. As a System Verification CoDesign Engineer, you will work on system-level speed features, develop the verification collaterals and automation infrastructure to characterize and validate them, and lead debug of the complex silicon issues that stand between a program and on-time shipment. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who combines deep technical craft with the drive to compress cycle time using modern tooling-including AI-without losing rigor. What You'll Be Doing: * Collaborate cross-functionally with system architects, hardware, firmware/software, process/reliability, and operations teams to co-design system-level speed features and deliver industry-defining products. * Understand system level behavior and speed reliability margins, bounding box constraints and identify solutions that optimize margins. * Translate hardware features and architectural requirements into verification techniques that achieve full coverage across testing flows. * Perform closed loop validation by correlating silicon behavior against timing simulation and design expectations; provide actionable feedback to improve future designs. * Define, prototype, and refine pre- and post-silicon bring-up flows to ensure product quality, performance, and schedule efficiency. * Design and implement automation tools for system speed modeling; apply AI and LLM-assisted workflows (e.g., automated log analysis, pattern detection, scripting acceleration) to compress characterization and debug cycles. * Architect and influence testability features critical to performance, power, and reliability in partnership with design, DFx, and ATE teams. * Lead debug of complex silicon and system-level issues, including show-stopper defects, to enable on-time product shipment. ## Related Videos - [Coffee with Developers - Stephen Jones - NVIDIA](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1303-coffee-with-developers-stephen-jones-nvidia) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [ Evaluating AI models for code comprehension](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1462-evaluating-ai-models-for-code-comprehension) - [Developing an AI.SDK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/198-developing-an-ai-sdk) - [Agent Smith Gets Hardware: Autonomous IoT Hacking From Debug Port to Cloud API](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100258-agent-smith-gets-hardware-autonomous-iot-hacking-from-debug-port-to-cloud-api) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
