NVIDIA is seeking a motivated Senior Timing Closure Engineer to join its Circuit Solutions Group. This role focuses on improving netlist and timing quality while solving complex technical challenges through collaboration. The engineer will work alongside custom circuit designers to drive timing analysis and closure of custom circuit macros. The position offers an opportunity to participate in groundbreaking processor design using deep submicron technologies.
Requirements
- BS (or equivalent experience) in Electrical or Computer Engineering
- 6+ years of experience for Masters and 8+ years for Bachelors in custom circuit timing analysis/closure
- Expertise in industry standard transistor level STA tools such as NanoTime
- Solid experience in timing constraints generation and management
- Basic understanding of transistor-level circuits and SPICE simulations
- Expertise in analysis and fixing of timing paths through ECOs
- Knowledge in process variation effect modeling
- Familiarity with clocking specs such as jitter and IR drop
- Solid understanding of timing models and usage of .libs in NanoTime
Responsibilities
- Participate in groundbreaking processor design in deep submicron technologies
- Drive timing analysis and closure of custom circuit macros alongside custom circuit designers
- Standardize and improve timing convergence flows working with methodology teams
- Develop timing models and methodology for innovative custom macro designs at the transistor level
- Validate timing of custom circuit designs using NanoTime and various SPICE simulations
- Collaborate with circuit designers, tool developers, and methodology teams to validate timing accuracy
- Work with PD, DFX, Clocks, and other teams on timing closure strategy and constraints
Benefits
- Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts.
