TL;DR · Senior Digital Design Engineer

The Senior Digital Design Engineer will join the Semi-Custom Silicon products group to develop NVLink Fusion based AI infrastructure System-on-Chips. This role involves analyzing architectural requirements, performing trade-off analyses, and delivering high-performance, area, and power-efficient RTL blocks. Key responsibilities include crafting micro-architecture specifications, implementing high-quality RTL, and ensuring blocks are synthesis and timing clean. The engineer will collaborate with architects, verification engineers, and SoC integration engineers while identifying and integrating specific IP solutions. Required expertise includes high-speed connectivity protocols like NVLink, PCI-Express, Ethernet, and UCIE. Candidates must demonstrate experience delivering high-bandwidth datapath blocks such as data movers, protocol adaptors, network-on-chip, arbiters, and schedulers. The position requires a deep understanding of ASIC design flows and methodology to solve rack-scale AI connectivity problems.

What you'll do

  • Analyze architectural requirements and perform trade-off analyses for hardware implementation.
  • Deliver high-performance, area-efficient, and power-efficient RTL blocks.
  • Craft detailed micro-architecture specifications for specific hardware blocks.
  • Implement high-quality RTL and deliver synthesis and timing-clean blocks.
  • Identify, select, customize, and integrate appropriate IP solutions for specific use cases.
  • Deliver high-bandwidth datapath blocks including data movers, protocol adaptors, and network-on-chip components.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of relevant work experience.
  • Experience working with high-speed connectivity protocols such as NVLink, PCI-Express, Ethernet, or UCIE.
  • Proven track record of delivering high bandwidth datapath blocks like data movers, protocol adaptors, network-on-chip, arbiters, and schedulers.
  • Deep understanding of ASIC design flows and methodology.
  • Strong analytical and interpersonal skills.
