Senior Circuit Design Engineer

About the role

We are now hiring a Circuit Design Engineer for Standard Cell Characterization. NVIDIA seeks to grow its research and development for Inference, specializing in GPU-accelerated Deep Learning software.

Responsibilities

• Work on cutting-edge processor design in deep submicron technologies and standard cell library design and characterization.
• Drive concepts of transistor-level circuit design, modeling, and performance analysis.
• Support and develop tools using Perl/Python.
• Contribute to improving existing tools and flows, and developing new simulations for timing, power, noise, and OCV evaluations.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams on library issues, enhancing quality checks on library work.

Requirements

• MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering or equivalent experience
• 4+ years of experience preferred
• Strong background in deep submicron process issues
• Deep understanding of standard cell library design, verification, and characterization
• Experience in generating timing, power, noise, and OCV views of standard cells
• Knowledge of Liberty models and their application to digital implementation and signoff flows
• Hands-on experience running SPICE simulation and adapting to new simulation tools
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Perl, Tcl, Make, and automation methods/algorithms (plus)
• Excellent team-work, communication, and analytical skills
• Ability to learn quickly, be hard-working, and results-oriented
• Past standard cell library or IP characterization experience (plus)
