Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a motivated Physical Design and Timing Engineer Intern to join their dynamic team. This role focuses on driving physical design, power, and timing closure for high-frequency and low-power designs. The intern will work on frontend and backend implementation, as well as run physical design experiments to develop methodologies. This position offers an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge technology in a collaborative environment.

Requirements

  • Pursuing an MS or Ph.D. in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
  • Familiarity with applying AI/ML techniques to physical design workflows.
  • Knowledge of or experience with Static Timing Analysis (STA) and power analysis.
  • Some experience in logic synthesis and equivalence checking.
  • Experience with physical optimization, including placement and routing.
  • Some background in industry-standard EDA tools such as Cadence or Synopsys.
  • Proficiency in programming and scripting languages like Perl, Tcl, Make, or Python.

Responsibilities

  • Drive physical design, power, and timing closure for high-frequency and low-power designs.
  • Help drive frontend and backend implementation from RTL to GDSII.
  • Run physical design experiments and assist in developing flows and methodologies.

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.
