Description For Senior Physical Design Engineer

NVIDIA is looking for best-in-class Senior Physical Design Engineers to join our outstanding Networking Silicon engineering team, developing the industry's best high speed communication devices, delivering the highest throughput and lowest latency. You will lead all aspects of physical design and implementation of SOC devices targeted at the networking markets. Work will be at the partition and chiplet level. You'll be exposed to and work on a variety of complicated designs (including high density and high speed blocks), resolving complex timing and congestion problems. Daily work involves all aspects of physical chip development (RTL2GDS) - synthesis, power and clock distribution, place and route, timing closure, power and noise analysis and physical verification.

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a "learning machine" that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities which are hard to solve, that only we can pursue, and that matter to the world.

Requirements:

  • BSEE / MSEE or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years of experience in VLSI physical design implementation on 16nm, 7nm, 5nm or 3nm technology
  • Able to assist in design flow development and debugging
  • Strong power user of P&R, Timing analysis, Physical Verification and IR Drop Analysis CAD tools from Synopsys (ICC2/DC/PT/STAR/ICV), Cadence (Genus/Innovus/Tempus) and other major EDA companies
  • Strong analytical and debugging skills
  • Proficiency using Python, Perl, Tcl, Make scripting is helpful
  • Great teammate

NVIDIA is widely considered to be the leader of AI computing and one of the technology world's most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you.
