TL;DR

As a Senior Logic Design Engineer in the DGX FPGA Logic Team, you will lead the development of FPGA/CPLD designs for advanced Data Center products focused on artificial intelligence. Your responsibilities include defining micro-architectural requirements, writing high-quality RTL code, and ensuring synthesis and timing closure while collaborating with verification teams to validate your design. You will also support system bring-up and validation at various global sites, requiring up to 20% travel. Essential skills include Verilog/SystemVerilog expertise, experience with FPGA EDA tools like Vivado or Quartus, and knowledge of industry-standard protocols such as I2C, SPI, and PCIe. Familiarity with embedded C, Python, and Perl is beneficial, along with a strong background in ASIC/FPGA/CPLD development flows. This role demands excellent communication skills and the ability to mentor junior engineers while working in a dynamic, distributed team environment.
