Nvidia Senior ASIC Physical Design Engineer - High Performance Designs 

United States, Texas 

548570528

What you'll be doing:

• Drive next generation physical design work to achieve best in class PPA for high-performance designs, e.g. Nvidia’s CPUs and GPUs.

• Explore design space, create optimum floorplan, drive synthesis, physical implementation, and timing closure by understanding arch/logic as well as dataflow and exhibiting craftsmanship.

• Work in a cross-functional environment interacting with multiple teams, including Architecture and RTL team, to solve complex design problems as well as build new methodologies and flows.

What we need to see:

• BS (or equivalent experience) in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 5+ years experience or MS (or equivalent experience) with 2+ years experience in physical design and implementation.

• Hands-on experience in physical synthesis, floor planning, P&R, and timing closure of high-performance designs with a focus on improving PPA (Performance, Power, Area).

• Good understanding of hardware architecture and RTL/logic design for timing closure, specifically experience in critical timing path planning and crafting.

• Expertise and hands-on knowledge of industry standard EDA tools for Synthesis, P&R and Timing.

• Knowledge of deep sub-micron process nodes and hands-on experience in modeling and converging high-performance designs in these nodes.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Background in high-performance designs, such as CPUs, GPUs or Large Cache design implementation and timing convergence.

• Understanding of high-performance design issues (timing, power, area, congestions, etc.) and methods/techniques to address those.

• Understanding of high-speed clock distribution and planning as well as impact of DFT logic in timing convergence.

• Knowledge of circuits and SPICE, as well as experience in methodology and/or flow development and automation.
