ASIC Design Engineer, Clocks

Overview

• The NVIDIA GPU clocks group is looking for an excellent Senior ASIC Design Engineer to join the team.
• The Team is responsible for crafting all aspects of GPU clocking.
• We collaborate with the frontend design team to understand the clocking requirements for the chip, and work with backend teams to understand the physical restrictions.
• The GPU clocks group architects, designs and validates the clocks RTL.
• The complexity of clocks RTL has increased many fold to support our features that power our product lines ranging from consumer graphics to self-driving cars and the growing field of artificial intelligence.
• What you’ll be doing: As a Clocks team member, you will collaborate with other architects, ASIC designers and verification engineers to design high frequency and low power clocks.
• You should be able to engage with multiple teams and design the GPU clocks to satisfy all the architectural constraints.
• You will need to run and enhance some in-house flow to guarantee the good quality of clocks RTL and netlist, drive the issues to close.
• Together with other team members, we deliver clock information to SOC verification team, timing and DFT teams.
• You will use Perl/Python to improve the productivity of the above teams.
• Collaborate with software and silicon solution team to debug GPU clock silicon bugs in our new products.
• What we need to see : BS or (MS preferred) in EE or equivalent experience.
• 2+ years of meaningful work experience.
• Your ability to thrive in a dynamically changing environment.
• Validated experience in RTL design (Verilog), verification and logic synthesis.
• Your strong coding skills in Perl or Python or other industry-standard scripting languages.
• Deep understanding of sub-micron silicon issues like noise, cross-talk, and OCV effects is a plus.
• Good understanding of backend flows and requirements is a plus.
• DFT knowledge is a plus.
• Experience in implementing on-chip clocking networks is desirable.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Fluent English (both written and spoken) and excellent communication skills.
• Good team work spirit, easy to cooperate with team members.
