Job description

We are now looking for a Senior ASIC Design Engineer.
NVIDIA is seeking ASIC Design Engineers to implement the world's leading SoC's and GPU's. This position offers the opportunity to have real impact in a multifaceted, technology-focused company impacting product lines ranging from consumer graphics to self-driving cars and the growing field of artificial intelligence. We have crafted a team of outstanding people stretching around the globe, whose mission is to push the frontiers of what is possible today and define the platform for the future of computing!
What you'll be doing:
  • As a key member of the GPU Design team, you will implement, document and deliver high performance, area and power efficient RTL to achieve design targets and specifications.
  • Analyze architectural trade-offs based on features, performance requirements and system limitations.
  • Craft micro-architecture, implement in RTL, and deliver a fully verified, synthesis/timing clean design.
  • Collaborate and coordinate with architects, other designers, pre- and post-silicon verification teams, synthesis, timing and back-end teams to accomplish your tasks.
  • Work on a broad list of IPs such as GPU's work scheduler, time distribution system, interrupt controllers, and DMA engines.
  • Architect features to help silicon debug and support post-silicon validation activities.

What we need to see:
  • Bachelors Degree or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science.
  • 8+ years of meaningful work experience.
  • Experience in micro-architecture and RTL development (Verilog), focused on arbiters, scheduling, synchronization & bus protocols, interconnect networks and/or caches.
  • Great understanding of ASIC design flow including RTL design, verification, logic synthesis and timing analysis.
  • Exposure to Digital systems and VLSI design, Computer Architecture, and Computer Arithmetic is required.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and an excellent teammate.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:
  • Strong C/C++, Python or Perl skills.
  • Good debugging and analytical skills.

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. If you are creative, autonomous and love a challenge, we want to hear from you.
