Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Circuit Methodology Engineer to lead the design and improvement of in-house methodology applications. This role focuses on developing new tools and enhancing existing ones to support mixed-signal projects and circuit deliverable tracking. The engineer will collaborate with software development teams to integrate AI/ML capabilities into the tool ecosystem. The position aims to streamline multi-department flows and improve design quality while reducing tapeout cycle times.

Requirements

  • BSEE, BSCE, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of working experience related to circuit design methodology, CAD/EDA development, or internal tools engineering for semiconductor design flows.
  • Exposure to and experience with AI algorithms/flows and their integration into tools is strongly desired.
  • Good understanding of mixed-signal or analog/RF design flows and the corresponding EDA ecosystem.
  • Background in process/flow engineering aimed at tapeout schedule reduction and design-quality improvements is a huge plus.
  • Coding experience is considered a benefit.

Responsibilities

  • Architect, develop, and collaborate with software development teams to implement new in-house tools.
  • Identify, prototype, and collaborate with software development teams to deploy AI/ML capabilities into the tool ecosystem.
  • Own and improve existing internal applications, ensuring they remain robust and maintainable.
  • Define and drive tool integration into multi-department flows to streamline handoffs.
  • Establish and communicate guidelines for tool usage, including onboarding and training processes.
  • Add telemetry and metrics to measure adoption, usage, data quality, and impact on schedule and circuit design quality.
  • Ensure that methodology tools actively improve mixed-signal build quality through better specifications and checks.

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.
