Job description

The Senior Circuit Methodology Engineer at NVIDIA will work closely with the circuit design engineering team to support infrastructure related to circuit design and methodology. This role involves managing and evolving compute and GPU infrastructure, which is crucial for mixed-signal design and verification flows. The engineer will also be responsible for monitoring farm health, improving throughput, and providing user support. This position plays a critical role in enhancing the overall efficiency of the circuit design department.

Requirements

  • BSEE, BSCE or equivalent experience is required.
  • A mid-level of programming skill, primarily in Python and Perl, is a must.
  • A minimum of 8 years of working experience related to circuit design methodology using Cadence/Synopsys based systems is required.
  • Experience with job schedulers and compute farms, primarily LSF and Slurm, is necessary.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with diverse engineering teams are essential.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain circuit design and verification flows for large-scale compute and GPU farms.
  • Proactively monitor farm health and job behavior, identifying bottlenecks and implementing solutions.
  • Bring up and release new compute and GPU infrastructure for team use.
  • Evaluate and qualify new compute and GPU resources, schedulers, and related EDA infrastructure components.
  • Build automation and tooling to streamline flow setup, job submission, resource allocation, logging, and reporting.
  • Track important measurements and lead ongoing improvement projects for farm efficiency and cost effectiveness.
  • Provide user support by debugging flow, infrastructure, and job-scheduling issues.
  • Develop and maintain documentation, training materials, and best-practice guidelines for users.

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. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
