Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a motivated Senior Physical Design and Timing Engineer to join their dynamic team. This role focuses on driving the physical design and timing of high-frequency and low-power CPUs, GPUs, and SoCs. The engineer will work in a cross-functional environment and contribute to improving convergence flows. This position offers an opportunity to be part of a company that is at the forefront of AI and computing innovation.

Requirements

  • BS in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 5+ years of experience or MS with 3+ years of experience in Synthesis and Timing.
  • Solid experience in full-chip/sub-chip Static Timing Analysis (STA) and timing constraints management.
  • Hands-on experience in logic synthesis and equivalence checking.
  • Expertise in physical design and optimization techniques.
  • Proficiency in programming and scripting languages such as Perl, Tcl, Make, and Python.

Responsibilities

  • Drive physical design and timing of NVIDIA CPUs, GPUs, LPUs, and SoCs at various levels.
  • Assist in frontend and backend implementation from RTL to gds2, including synthesis and timing convergence.
  • Collaborate with multiple teams in a cross-functional environment.
  • Apply knowledge to improve convergence flows with the Methodology Team.
  • Analyze and converge crosstalk delay, noise glitch, and electrical rules in deep-sub micron processes.

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.
