Work as part of the advanced technology team to optimize design tradeoffs and methodology on next generation CMOS technology. We are looking for a Senior ASIC Synthesis Engineer to join our dynamic and growing team! If you are problem solver and highly motivated individual searching for a collaborative and exciting role, join us today. We encourage applicants with a history of proven success working in a multicultural and diverse environment.

     

    NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities which are hard to solve, that only we can pursue, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human inventiveness and intelligence.

    What You'll Be doing:

    + As a Front-End ASIC Synthesis Engineer, you will own RTL synthesis and gate level optimization tasks

    + Collaboration with physical design to address timing, area, congestion tradeoffs

    + Drive timing closure and power/area optimization across multiple design blocks

    + Work with DFT and Verification teams to ensure functional and timing correctness

    What we need to see:

    + BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.

    + 8+ years of experience in front-end ASIC synthesis and integration.

    + Deep understanding of Verilog RTL design and digital design principles.

    + Proven experience with industry-standard EDA tools for synthesis (e.g., Synopsys Design Compiler).

    + Hands-on experience with timing analysis, constraint management, and post-synthesis ECO flows.

    + Solid background in low-power and high-performance design optimization techniques.

    + Familiarity with formal verification tools (e.g., Formality/Conformal LEC) and methodologies.

    Ways to stand out from the crowd:

    + Knowledge of DFT/Test logic including JTAG, scan, high speed I/O loopback, and memory BIST.

    + Have proficiency in programming (Python, Perl, Tcl).
