Senior Structural Test Engineer

NVIDIA, the AI computing company, has transformed computer graphics, parallel computing, and deep learning with the invention of the GPU in 1999. As we continue to grow, we are seeking top talent to help drive further innovation. We are currently hiring a Senior Structural Test Engineer to join our Test Team. In this role, you will build next-generation boards and systems while collaborating with cross-functional teams and suppliers to deliver functional test hardware solutions.

The ideal candidate will define and drive the structural test plan for baseboards and systems, review design concepts, and establish validation strategies. You will develop and automate test infrastructure configurations, ensuring coverage of key product features while optimizing cost, quality, and manufacturability. You will also lead the implementation of structural test plans to detect SMT, PCB, and component issues as early as possible. This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact across diverse product lines, from consumer graphics to autonomous vehicles and AI technologies.

What you will be doing:

• Define ICT capability, hardware design requirements, and board debug capabilities, enabling structural testing at Texas CM sites.

• Optimize structural test plans to identify SMT, PCB, and component issues early.

• Collaborate with board designers, layout engineers, tester vendors, and fixture providers, offering DFM guidance to meet ICT requirements.

• Support production bring-up and debugging, including offshore tester platform bring-up involving ICT, BSI, FCT universal testers, and more.

• Coordinate test fixtures and platform automation with suppliers, contract manufacturers, and global teams.

• Develop procedures, documentation, and provide technical support as needed.

What you need to see:

• Master’s degree (or equivalent experience) in Electrical, Mechanical, Materials, or related fields.

• At least 5 years of experience in ICT programming, fixture design/manufacturing, and factory testing.

• Strong understanding of ICT development, hardware design, board debugging, and structural testing.

• Solid knowledge of board manufacturing processes, PCB/fixture design, and proven program management capability.

• Excellent communication, analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.

• Strong team collaboration and analytical abilities with effective work habits.

• Self-starter able to complete tasks with minimal supervision.

• This position is 100% on-site based at either our Dallas or Houston Contract Manufacturing (CM) facility. Candidates must be able to work full-time on-site at one of these locations (this role does not offer remote or hybrid arrangements).

We offer competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package, and are widely recognized as one of the most desirable employers in the technology industry. With rapid growth, our teams continue to expand. We are looking for creative, self-driven individuals with a passion for technology to join us and help shape the future of computing.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and other objective job-related factors. The expected base salary ranges for this position are:
132,000 USD – 207,000 USD for Level 3; and 152,000 USD – 253,000 USD for Level 4.
