As a R&D Software Engineer at NVIDIA, you will join a cutting-edge team focused on developing highly optimized EDA tools for VLSI design by integrating advances in parallel computing and machine learning. Your primary responsibilities include inventing new optimization engines that co-optimize traditionally independent processes to enhance chip frequency while reducing power consumption. You will also refine algorithms for gate-level sizing, buffering, clock skew management, cell legalization, and incremental parasitic extraction using C++. The role requires a deep understanding of VLSI timing optimization concepts and proficiency with design implementation tools like ICC2, Innovus, PrimeTime, Tempus, and StarRC. Ideal candidates hold a Masters or PhD in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science and have experience with C++14 or newer, reinforcement learning, GNNs, and continuous software improvement for PPA (power-performance-area) optimization.
