ASIC Physical Design Intern - 2027

Overview

• NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years.
• It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology—and amazing people.
• Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing.
• An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world.
• Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent.
• As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work.
• Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.
• With the continuous improvement of chip technology, design scale and performance/power ratio, the physical design of digital chips is facing outstanding challenges in high frequency, low power consumption and multiple applications.
• High efficiency, high quality of the implementation of the construction chip is the guarantee of the company's competitiveness.
• As an ASIC-PD intern at NVIDIA, you'll learn and work on the tasks from RTL frozen to tape out, include synthesis, formal verification, constraints definition, timing closure/sign off, study on the timing impact of process and related methodology work.
• What you'll be doing: Chip integration and netlist generation, cross-team collaboration to implement chip partitioning and floorplan Synthesis, RTL/netlist quality check, formal verification, function eco creation Constraints creation and validation, timing budget, work with ASIC team to analyze/resolve function timing issues, achieve all special timing closure, such as io, test, clock, async etc.
• Work in conjunction with PR engineers for chip implementation to achieve full chip timing closue Develop and improve entire timing closure flow from frontend (pre-layout) to backend (post-layout), flow automation development for above areas Methodology in any of above areas.
• What we need to see: Currently pursuing a Master's or PhD degree within a relevant or related field Strong knowledge in IC design Passionate about technology research and IC backend Self-driven, good leaning ability, good teamwork Excellent communication skill, proficient in English reading and writing Ways to stand out from the crowd: Experience in IC backend implementation Hand-on experience in EDA software from Synopsys (DC/PT/Formality), Cadence (RC compiler/LEC) Proficient user of Python or TCL NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers.
• We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us.
• If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!.
