TL;DR · Senior ASIC Design Engineer - Hardware

Join NVIDIA’s elite Design team as an ASIC Design Engineer, where you will play a pivotal role in implementing GPU sub-system modules by making critical architectural decisions based on performance requirements. Your daily tasks include developing micro-architecture, coding in RTL, and ensuring designs are fully verified and optimized for synthesis and timing. You’ll collaborate closely with architects, verification teams, and back-end engineers to deliver cutting-edge SoCs and GPUs. Ideal candidates hold a Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering, along with 5+ years of ASIC design expertise, proficiency in Verilog, and knowledge of the entire ASIC design flow. Familiarity with PCI-Express and CXL protocols, as well as Python, Perl, and C/C++, is advantageous for this high-scale computing project.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement GPU sub-system modules for leading SoC's and GPU's.
  • Make architectural trade-offs considering features, performance requirements, and system limitations.
  • Develop micro-architecture, write RTL code, and ensure designs are fully verified and timing clean.
  • Support post-silicon validation activities to ensure design integrity.
  • Collaborate with architects, verification teams, synthesis, and back-end teams on tasks.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of ASIC design and development experience
  • Masters Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering required
  • Expertise in micro-architecture and RTL development using Verilog
  • Comprehensive understanding of ASIC design flow processes
  • Experience with PCI-Express (Gen 3+) or CXL protocol beneficial
  • Knowledge of arbiters, synchronization, interconnect networks, caches
  • Proficiency in Python, Perl, and C/C++ programming languages
