Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a motivated Senior ASIC Physical Design Engineer, Netlisting to join their dynamic team. The role focuses on driving the physical design of high-frequency and low-power CPUs, GPUs, and SoCs, with an emphasis on netlist-related aspects. The engineer will work on tasks such as equivalence checking, timing convergence, and logic synthesis. This position offers an opportunity to be part of a company that is a leader in AI computing and values creativity and autonomy.

Requirements

  • BS in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 5+ years of experience or MS with 3+ years of experience.
  • Expertise in logic equivalence checking/FV from RTL to tapeout using industry-standard tools.
  • Deep understanding of hardware architecture and hands-on skills in RTL/logic design for timing closure.
  • Experience in clock-domain-crossing checking and MTBF analysis.
  • Strong experience in full-chip/sub-chip Static Timing Analysis (STA) and timing constraints management.
  • Proficiency in programming and scripting languages such as Perl, TCL, Make, and Python.

Responsibilities

  • Drive physical design of high-frequency and low-power CPUs, GPUs, and SoCs at various levels.
  • Focus on netlist-related aspects including equivalence checking and asynchronous checking.
  • Help in all aspects of physical design, including timing convergence and ECO generation.
  • Manage timing constraints generation and implementation.
  • Utilize industry-standard EDA tools in related fields.

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.
