What does an ASIC Design Chip Lead do?

An ASIC Design Chip Lead is responsible for overseeing the design and development of Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), which are custom-designed chips tailored for specific applications or devices. This role involves leading a team of engineers, coordinating the design process, ensuring the chip meets performance and power requirements, and managing communication between different engineering teams. The ASIC Design Chip Lead also reviews technical specifications, participates in design reviews, and ensures projects are completed on time and within budget.

How does an ASIC Design Chip Lead typically collaborate with cross-functional teams during a project lifecycle?

As an ASIC Design Chip Lead, you'll frequently work with cross-functional teams including system architects, verification engineers, software developers, and project managers. Collaboration often involves coordinating design requirements, reviewing technical specifications, and ensuring alignment between hardware and software teams. Effective communication is critical to resolve issues quickly and maintain project timelines. You'll also facilitate regular design reviews and be a key point of contact for both technical and project-related queries throughout the development lifecycle.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an ASIC Design Chip Lead, and why are they important?

To thrive as an ASIC Design Chip Lead, you need deep expertise in digital and analog circuit design, RTL coding (often in Verilog or VHDL), and a solid background in electrical engineering, typically with a relevant degree. Familiarity with EDA tools like Synopsys, Cadence, and Mentor Graphics, as well as experience in ASIC verification and tape-out processes, is essential. Strong leadership, project management, and communication skills help guide cross-functional teams and resolve complex technical challenges. These skills ensure the successful design, implementation, and delivery of high-performance ASIC chips in competitive technology markets.

Job description

We are now looking for a Senior ASIC Design Engineer to join our System ASIC team! NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 fueled 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 that are hard to pursue, that only we can tackle, and that matter to the world. This is our life's work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence. Make the choice to join us today.


NVIDIA is seeking best-in-class ASIC Design Engineers to design and implement the world's leading GPU and SoC's. With the System-ASIC team, you will contribute to designing multiple products that will be used in a variety of applications from consumer graphics to self-driving cars and the growing field of artificial intelligence. System-ASIC team works closely with System Architecture team on product definitions, implements new innovative flows to improve our chip yield and to address multiple sectors, defines Reset and Boot Architecture and implements them in complex GPU and Tegra chips. The team is also handling the architecture, design, and synthesis of multiple System-level modules.


What you'll be doing:

  • Be an integral part of the System ASIC Design team to help develop and improve our RTL and SOC designs

  • Collaborate with architects, ASIC designers, and verification engineers to design sophisticated system-level modules such as Floorsweep, In-silicon measurement, Reset and Boot controllers.

  • You will be responsible for the RTL design, logic synthesis, and timing analysis of several modules.

  • Integrate modules into the overall SOC design and work closely with other teams in the silicon bring-up process and ensure successful SOC level integration.

  • You will also use your expertise to identify and implement improvements in the current design flow and methodologies to improve efficiency and quality.

What we need to see:

  • BS / MS in Microelectronics/ Electronic Engineering/ Computer Science and related (or equivalent experience).

  • 5+ years of ASIC design experience or SOC integration design / flow experience

  • Fundamental digital design concepts and experience in ASIC design flow including RTL design, verification, logic synthesis and timing analysis

  • Strong coding skills in Perl, Python, C++, or other industry-standard scripting languages

  • Basic understanding of verification methodology

  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Familiarity with ARM CPU and SoC system architecture, microprocessor, and microcontroller fundamentals (caches, buses, memory controllers, DMA, etc.)

  • Experience with reset controllers, boot, fuse controllers or UCIe protocol

  • Hands-on experience in programming (C/C++) and scripting (Perl/Python).
