NVIDIA is seeking a VLSI CAD Timing Intern focused on Applied AI to contribute to the development of end-to-end solutions for timing and constraint analysis workflows. The intern will work within a cross-disciplinary team to build intelligent systems that leverage sign-off data to assist engineers in achieving faster and more predictable closure. This role involves learning and supporting static timing analysis flows and collaborating with various engineering teams. The position emphasizes the application of AI and analytics in VLSI tasks.

• Currently pursuing a Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Coursework or academic knowledge in VLSI/ASIC design, digital circuits, or computer architecture.
• Exposure to applying agentic AI to back-end VLSI tasks.
• Familiarity with the basics of static timing analysis, constraints, or digital design flows.
• Knowledge in scripting or programming, preferably in Python.

• Learn and support static timing analysis flows using industry tools like PrimeTime and Tempus.
• Help develop and automate timing, constraints, and QoR validation flows using scripting and data-driven methods.
• Assist with analyzing timing reports, constraints, and design data to improve closure predictability.
• Collaborate with CAD, physical design, and methodology engineers on timing sign-off strategies.
• Contribute to AI-assisted approaches for timing analysis and flow optimization.

• 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.
