This role offers the opportunity to influence the design and development of next-generation products from early architecture through physical design. The engineer will work closely with multi-disciplinary teams to optimize chip floorplans for performance, cost, and power. This position is crucial in a dynamic company that impacts various technology sectors, including consumer graphics and artificial intelligence.

Requirements

  • MSEE/MSCE or equivalent experience with extensive knowledge in chip development.
  • 10+ years of experience in the semiconductor industry.
  • Experience in developing SOC, CPU, graphics, memory, and I/O sub-systems.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and resolve complex technical issues.
  • Familiarity with physical design methodologies, chip floorplan, and timing closure.
  • Strong communication skills for presenting progress and options to teams.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Perl, and/or C++.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with product managers and chip architects to craft optimized chip floorplans.
  • Drive the development of floorplans and work with design teams to identify improvement opportunities.
  • Develop AI workflows and productivity tools to enhance chip area optimization.
  • Identify technical and product risks and collaborate on risk mitigation strategies.

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.
