ASIC Physical Design Engineer at NVIDIA

ASIC-PD team is hiring both junior and senior engineers, whose work scope is physical design from RTL to GSDII: design quality check, synthesis, formal check, partitioning, constraint (for both design and process), async check, timing analysis/fixing/signoff, also all related flow. Join us, you will work together with expertise in all these areas; you will not only work for physical application, but also drive physical friendly design with all related teams: ASIC/P&R/DFT/SI/ARCH etc.; you will work for the most advanced process/technology, the biggest chip in the world.

What you'll be doing:

• STA for hierarchical design.

• Constraints creation and validation, timing budget.

• Timing closure for both partition and full chip level.

• Special timing closure, such as io, test, clock etc.

• Synthesis, Netlist quality check, Formal Verification.

• Implement chip partition and floorplan.

• Function eco creation.

• Develop and enhance entire timing closure flow from frontend (pre-layout) to backend (post-layout).

• Flow automation development, Methodology in any of above areas.

What we need to see:

• MS in EE, CS or Microelectronics with 1+ year experience is preferred

• Project experience in IC design implementation.

• Courses taken in circuit design, digital design

• Hand-on experience in EDA software from Synopsys (FC/DC/PT/Formality), Cadence (RC compiler/Genus/LEC) is helpful

• Proficient user of Python, perl or TCL is helpful

• Proficient in English reading and writing

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Proficient user of Perl, Python or TCL is preferred.
