Job description

NVIDIA is seeking talented Physical Design Engineers with expertise in Synthesis to join their Networking Silicon engineering team. The role focuses on developing high-speed communication devices that deliver exceptional throughput and low latency. Engineers will work in a collaborative environment, contributing to the design and optimization of groundbreaking chips. This position offers the opportunity to make a significant impact in a technology-driven company.

Requirements

  • BSEE, MSEE, or equivalent experience.
  • 2+ years of experience in synthesis and physical implementation on advanced process nodes.
  • Strong proficiency with Synopsys Fusion Compiler, Cadence Genus, or comparable synthesis tools.
  • Hands-on experience with synthesis constraints, timing analysis, QoR optimization, and the full place-and-route flow.
  • Strong analytical and debugging skills across RTL, synthesis, timing, and physical implementation.
  • Proficiency in Python, Perl, Tcl, and Make.
  • Strong communication and multi-functional collaboration skills.

Responsibilities

  • Own RTL-to-gate synthesis and QoR convergence for complex digital blocks and hierarchical partitions.
  • Optimize synthesis strategies, constraints, and flows to meet performance, power, and area targets.
  • Analyze design bottlenecks and QoR regressions, collaborating with RTL, timing, architecture, and physical design teams to resolve them.
  • Support physical implementation from floorplanning and power planning through routing and timing closure.
  • Automate design setup, execution, reporting, and issue triage while improving project-wide methodologies and best known methods.

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.
