NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology—and amazing people. Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world. We are now looking for a motivated Senior Processor Physical Design Engineer to join our dynamic and growing team. If you want to challenge yourself and be a part of something great, join us today! 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 tackle, that only we can pursue, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human inventiveness and intelligence. What you'll be doing:Drive Physical Design Implementation for Nvidia’s GP - Us, CP - Us, and LP - Us at block level, cluster level, and full chip level. Lead Timing closure and PPA convergence of complex I - Ps by analyzing RTL/ Design, evaluating critical datapaths, and developing and implementing innovative solutions to improve Qo. R and adopting AI/ Automation. Collaborate with Cross-Functional Teams to synthesize and optimize designs, devise timing closure strategies, create timing constraints, and drive timing, area, and power convergence 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 Synthesis and Timing. Hands on experience in building Synthesis recipe for best QOR with good correlation to P&R - Hands-on experience in full-chip/sub-chip Static Timing Analysis (STA) and timing convergence, timing constraints generation and management. Expertise in analysis and timing closure through EC - Os including crosstalk and noise analysis. Expertise in physical design and optimization e.g., placement, routing, logic restructuring, etc. to improve timing and power. Expertise and in-depth knowledge of industry standard STA and timing convergence tools. Knowledge of deep sub-micron process nodes and hands-on experience in modeling and converging timing in these nodes. Ways to stand out from the crowd:Background in logic synthesis and equivalence checking/ FV. Background in domain specific STA and timing convergence, such as GP - Us, CP - Us, LP - Us, Accelerators or SO - Cs. Understanding DFT logic and experience with DFT timing closure for various modes e.g., scan, BIST, etc. Experience in methodology and/or flow development as well as automation using AI/ LLM. Widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers, NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package.
