Senior ASIC Timing Engineer

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior ASIC Timing Design Engineer to join its Networking Silicon engineering team. This role involves driving physical design and timing for high-frequency, low-power DPUs and SoCs, optimizing design constraints, and leading frontend and backend implementation from RTL to gds2. The engineer will contribute to groundbreaking chip development in a professional, technology-focused environment, making a significant impact on high-speed communication devices.

Must Have

• Drive physical design and timing of high-frequency and low-power DPUs and SoCs at block level, cluster level, and/or full chip level.
• Analyze and optimize design constraints and synthesis parameters to achieve performance, power, and area targets.
• Help in driving frontend and backend implementation from RTL to gds2, including synthesis, equivalence checking, floor-planning, timing constraints, timing and power convergence, and ECO implementation.
• Understanding of DFT logic and hands-on experience in design closure.
• Expertise in analyzing and converging crosstalk delay, noise glitch, and electrical/manufacturing rules in deep-sub micron processes.
• Knowledge in process variation effect modeling and experience in design convergence taking into account process variations.
• Experience in critical path planning.
• Power user of Static Timing tools like Synopsys PrimeTime or Cadence Tempus.
• Solid experience in full-chip/sub-chip Static Timing Analysis (STA), timing constraints generation and management, and timing convergence.
• Proficiency in Python, Tcl and Make for automation and scripting tasks.
• BS (or equivalent experience) in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 8+ years experience or MS (or equivalent experience) with 2 years experience in Synthesis and Timing.
