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.

NVIDIA’s VLSI team transforms groundbreaking GPU and accelerator architectures into production silicon at the world’s most advanced process nodes. Our team drives IP design, and verification for chips of unmatched complexity — billions of transistors pushing the limits of performance and power efficiency. Unlike typical VLSI roles, engineers here directly shape products that define the state of the art in AI, HPC, and autonomous systems, working at a pace and scale few organizations can match. If you want your implementation expertise to have outsized real-world impact, this is the place.

What you'll be doing:

Work on the cutting edge standard cell libraries and/or custom ROM (Read Only Memory) modules in deep submicron technologies.
Drive the concepts of the transistor level standard cell circuit design, modeling and performance analysis process.
Lead the function and feasibility verification of new ROM designs and set up new design flows.
Provide creative insights to support and enhance existing tools and flows and develop new simulations to perform design margin evaluations.
Collaborate with multi-functional teams regarding opportunities to improve standard cell develop. We will improve on our quality checks on the libraries.

What we need to see:

MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience).
3+ years of experience.
We are looking for strong background in advanced submicron process issues.
Deep understanding of the build and verification of both conventional cell libraries and custom ROMs.
Hands-on experience running SPICE simulation, and capability to adapt to new simulation tools.
Experience with running EM/IR, aging, noise, margin, and high sigma variation simulations.
Hands-on experience of DRC/LVS debug.
Experience of designing and optimizing flip flops, level shifters, latches, and/or custom ROMs, register files, SRAM.
Strong proficiency in scripting language, such as, Perl, Tcl, Make, and automation methods/algorithms a certain plus.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Exposure to standard cell, memory, or custom circuit development would be beneficial.
Experience with RTL, logic synthesis, and familiarity with place and route is preferred.
Prior leadership experience is advantageous.
Good interpersonal skills, quick learner, proactive, innovative, highly motivated, and committed.
