Senior ASIC Timing Engineer

About the role

NVIDIA is seeking talented Senior ASIC Timing Design Engineers to join the Networking Silicon engineering team. The team develops cutting-edge high-speed communication devices that deliver the highest throughput and lowest latency.

Responsibilities

• Drive physical design and timing of high-frequency and low-power DPUs and SoCs at block level, chiplet level, and/or full chip level.
• Analyze and optimize design constraints and synthesis parameters to achieve performance, power, and area targets.
• Help in driving frontend and backend implementation from RTL to gds2, including synthesis, equivalence checking, floor-planning, timing constraints, timing and power convergence, and ECO implementation.

Requirements

• BS (or equivalent experience) in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 8 years experience or MS with 4+ years experience in Synthesis and Timing.
• Hands-on experience in full-chip/sub-chip Static Timing Analysis (STA), timing constraints generation and management, and timing convergence.
• Expertise in analysis and fixing of timing paths through ECOs including crosstalk and noise analysis.
• Expertise in physical design and optimization e.g., placement, routing, cell sizing, buffering, logic restructuring, etc. to improve timing and power, along with a background in implementing them through ECOs.
• Background in logic synthesis and/or logical equivalence checking (LEC).
• Expertise and in-depth knowledge of industry standard EDA tools (Synopsys PrimeTime or Cadence Tempus).
• Proficiency in Python, Tcl and Make for automation and scripting tasks.

Qualifications

• Background in domain specific STA and timing convergence, such as CPUs, GPUs or Network processor implementation or SOCs.
• Understanding of DFT logic and experience with DFT timing closure for various modes e.g., scan shift and capture, transition faults, BIST, etc.
• Knowledge of deep sub-micron technology and associated process variations effects, including modeling and converging considering process variations.
• Experience in methodology and/or flow development as well as automation.

Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
