Physical Design CAD Engineer

NVIDIA is looking for a best-in-class Physical Design CAD Engineer to join our outstanding Networking Silicon engineering team. You will be developing the industry's best high-speed communication devices, delivering the highest throughput and lowest latency.

Responsibilities:

• You will be in charge of developing physical design, synthesis, STA, and Logic eq methodologies for implementation of networking chips and SOCs.
• Work closely with block owners, full Chip STA engineers, and project managers to assure high-quality and timely convergence.
• Come up with unique and creative solutions to state-of-the-art physical design problems needed for our chips.
• Participate in and develop flow and tool methodologies for chip floorplan, power and clock distribution, P&R, timing analysis and closure, power and noise analysis, and back-end verification across multiple projects.

Requirements:

• B.Sc./M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience).
• At least 2 years of relevant experience.
• Proficiency using Python, Perl, Tcl, Make scripting.
• Expertise in analyzing and converging crosstalk delay, noise glitch, and electrical/manufacturing rules in deep-submicron processes.
• Knowledge in physical design and optimization, such as placement, routing, cell sizing, buffering, logic restructuring, etc., to improve timing and power required and implementing them through ECOs.
• Knowledge in process variation effect modeling and experience in design convergence taking into account variations.
• Successful track record of delivering designs to production.
• Self-motivation, attention to detail, and good written, verbal, and presentation skills.
