NVIDIA is seeking a skilled Implementation Methodology Engineer for its elite VLSI team, focusing on synthesis methodology development within the RTL2GDS pipeline for advanced-node chip development. This role emphasizes leading PPA optimization campaigns and creating automation solutions to enhance engineering throughput. The ideal candidate will thrive at the intersection of physical design methodology and data-driven optimization, contributing to the development of cutting-edge CPU silicon. Joining NVIDIA means being part of a diverse and innovative environment where your work can have a significant impact.

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 6+ years of hands-on proven experience in ASIC implementation methodology and EDA tool/flow development.
• Deep, practical expertise in the complete RTL2GDS flow including synthesis, DFT, floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and MCMM STA.
• Power user of synthesis and place-and-route tools from Synopsys and/or Cadence.
• Strong scripting proficiency in Python, TCL, Perl, and/or Make for flow automation and analysis.
• Demonstrated ability to drive complex, cross-functional technical initiatives.

• Own and continuously improve the end-to-end RTL2GDS implementation methodology for advanced-node CPU builds.
• Evaluate new EDA tools and process node capabilities, delivering clear adoption recommendations.
• Define and enforce implementation methodology best-known methods and flow standards across development teams.
• Build and complete rigorous A/B and multi-variant experiments to compare flows and optimization strategies.
• Drive aggressive PPA targets throughout the full implementation cycle and conduct deep root-cause analysis.
• Architect and build automation frameworks in Python/TCL/Perl to reduce manual engineering effort.
• Identify systemic efficiency bottlenecks across the implementation flow and eliminate them through targeted automation.

• 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.
