The Senior ASIC Design Engineer - DFX at NVIDIA will be a key member of the DFX Methodology Team, focusing on the architecture, design, implementation, and verification of DFT IPs for next-generation SoC products. This role involves driving innovation throughout the silicon lifecycle and mentoring junior engineers. The position requires collaboration with various teams to ensure cohesive integration and successful post-silicon validation. Candidates will have the opportunity to work on complex semiconductor designs that impact various industries.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience with 8+ years of experience, or a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with 6+ years of experience.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in SoC architecture, RTL design, and verification.
- Strong proficiency in micro-architecture and RTL development using Verilog.
- Deep expertise in DFT design, methodology, and implementation.
- Familiarity with related domains such as clocking, STA, place & route, and power optimization.
- Experience in post-silicon bring-up on ATE, including understanding of pattern formats, test program development, and failure analysis.
- Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or Tcl.
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
Responsibilities
- Own the architecture and design of fuse controller and other DFT IPs for cutting-edge SoC designs.
- Develop, deploy, and enhance DFT methodologies for scalability and future product needs.
- Define and align feature sets by working closely with architects, platform, and software teams.
- Partner with design, verification, synthesis, timing, and backend teams to ensure cohesive integration.
- Create and execute test plans to support both functional and DFT full-chip verification.
- Support post-silicon bring-up and validation efforts including debug and issue resolution.
- Mentor junior engineers on test design strategies and trade-offs related to cost, quality, and performance.
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.
