Senior ASIC Design Engineer

As a member of our digital logic interconnect design team, you will be responsible for implementing logic for our next-generation GPU's and SOCs which enable high-performance interconnect of multi-GPU/CPU/DPU system topologies for autonomous machines, Cloud and Data Centers, Deep learning, High-Performance Computing, Gaming, and Entertainment solutions. Tasks will include micro-architectural definition, RTL coding, logic debug, timing closure, power optimization and verification support. The ideal candidate will have 10+ years of direct experience with PCIE Physical/Datal-Link Layer or other industry standard protocols like CXL, AXI, CHI, UCIe USB, SATA.

What you'll be doing:

• micro architecting the next generation of PCIE PL and DL

• implementing readable, high-performance, area and power efficient RTL to achieve design targets, including upcoming performance, adaptability, and safety industry standards

• collaborating with architects, external partners, software engineers and circuit designers to deliver best in class IP

• partnering with our Physical Design team on partitioning, floorplanning and timing closure

• providing design documentation, triaging and debugging functional and performance bugs, integration and infrastructure support and development

What we need to see:

• Bachelors Degree in EE, CS or CE or equivalent experience

• 8+ years of relevant experience or an Advanced Degree with equivalent experience

• 5+ years experience in coding PCIE PL/DL logic or lower layers of the OSI stack in general

• in-depth understanding of physical design

• strong working knowledge of Verilog or System Verilog

• strong collaboration and communication skills

• able to lead junior engineers and assist management with task assignments, scheduling, and other project management tasks

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• good knowledge of PCIe PL/DL sub blocks such as: data scrambling, packet framing, NRZ/PAM4 encoding, equalization, TLPs/DLLPs, LTSSM, power states, errors, etc

• knowledge of alternate protocol negotiation, CXL/UCIe would be an added advantage

• experience in handling post-silicon bringup, and good understanding of signal integrity concepts

• understanding of firmware/driver structures and their interaction with HW

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. Are you creative and autonomous? Do you love the challenge of crafting the highest performance & lowest power silicon possible? If so, we want to hear from you. Come join our design team and help build the real-time, cost-effective computing platform driving our success in this exciting and quickly growing field.
