Nvidia's traditional business has been geared around GPU manufacturing, gaming and supercomputing markets. Nvidia has expanded on it's expertise and branched into the Automotive industry with it's Tegra family of processors. As we move forward, more and more devices are embedded with technology to enhance the user experience. This is now true in the automotive industry, and Nvidia is providing the processing power to do all of this with Tegra. Auto manufacturers are using Nvidia's Tegra series for multiple systems: instrumentation displays, infotainment systems, advanced driver assistance, and auto pilot / driver-less applications.I help develop leading edge products tuned for the automotive industry by working with NPI management teams to bring products to market in a timely manner. My responsibilities include yield and failure analysis, qualification, customer implementation, characterization, test time reduction, and system level circuit debug. In addition, I assist test engineers in generating and releasing test programs, test validation and test flow development. My focus is based on the system side of the back end flow, involving data analysis and correlation work between system fails to upstream component and wafer level testing.Although I have a system level perspective, I'm ultimately still responsible for the product as a whole. If there is an issue at the component or wafer level, I'm in charge of improving those processes and methodologies to eliminate the problem from reaching the SoC and our customers.Our customers include: Audi, BMW, VW, Tesla, Honda, & Google. Those customers put our Tegra chips into the: Model S, A4, A8, 7 Series, i8, and Civic.

As a Product Engineer at Micron Technology Inc., I help develop each new generation of DRAM memory as it transitions from the design stage to mass production. Product Engineers are the key interface between Research and Development, Manufacturing, Marketing, and Quality Assurance departments.My job duties include wafer and component level circuit debug, device characterization for improved operation and testability, and detailed DRAM analysis to maximize end-user performance and reliability. Other responsibilities include circuit simulation, failure analysis, assistance with both internal qualification and customer implementation, yield optimization, and Test program development at wafer, component, and module steps.The Product Engineering role is critical to Micron as it serves the company's charter to be the most cost effective producer of DRAM memory.
