Job description
NVIDIA is seeking a Senior STA Signoff Methodology Engineer to drive sign-off strategies for advanced GPUs, CPUs, LPUs, and SoCs. This role focuses on optimizing performance, yield, and reliability through modeling, analysis, and automation. The engineer will work in a collaborative environment with technology leads and design engineers to enhance silicon performance. This position offers the opportunity to influence the next generation of AI technology.
Requirements
- MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering or equivalent experience with 8 years of experience in ASIC design and timing.
- Solid understanding of RC extraction, device physics, STA methodologies, and EDA-tool limitations.
- Proven foundation in the mathematics and physics underlying electrical design.
- Experience with low-power techniques, including multi-Vt design, clock gating, and power gating.
- Understanding of signal and power integrity, crosstalk, and timing margins.
- Hands-on experience with advanced FinFET and emerging CMOS technologies at 5 nm, 3 nm, and beyond.
- Familiarity with industry-standard ASIC tools such as PrimeTime, ICC2, RedHawk, and Tempus.
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative working style.
Responsibilities
- Run large-scale SPICE simulations and STA experiments to model the impact of advanced technologies on chip timing.
- Develop STA and PNR flows and recommendations addressing aging, self-heating, and thermal effects.
- Collaborate with technology leads, physical-design engineers, and timing engineers to define and deploy sophisticated timing-signoff strategies.
- Develop tools and methodologies that improve design performance and silicon reliability.
- Perform extensive data analysis using Python, JMP, or similar tools to improve STA-to-silicon correlation.
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.
