Job description

The ASIC engineer will join the Clocks team at NVIDIA, focusing on designing and optimizing clock domains for GPU and CPU architectures. This role involves collaboration with various teams to ensure that clocking requirements meet functional and physical constraints. The engineer will also work on improving power, performance, and area (PPA) of NVIDIA chips while addressing timing closure challenges. The position offers an opportunity to engage in the complete ASIC execution cycle, from design implementation to silicon bring-up.

Requirements

  • BS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience, with MS preferred.
  • 2+ years of relevant work experience.
  • Deep understanding of logic optimization techniques and PPA trade-offs.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to collaborate with multiple teams.
  • Experience in RTL design (Verilog), verification, and logic synthesis.
  • Strong coding skills in Python or other industry-standard scripting languages.
  • Understanding of sub-micron silicon issues like noise, cross-talk, and OCV effects is a plus.

Responsibilities

  • Architect the clock domain to satisfy functional, physical, and testing design requirements.
  • Engage with multiple teams to design GPU or CPU clocks that meet architectural and physical constraints.
  • Improve Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) of NVIDIA chips by evaluating trade-offs across various factors.
  • Collaborate with the physical design and timing team to address clocking concerns and develop solutions.
  • Deliver clock RTL information to GPU, CPU, and SOC verification teams, as well as timing and DFT teams.
  • Participate in the end-to-end cycle of ASIC execution from micro-architecture to silicon bring-up.

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.
