Manager, Physical Design Circuit and Signoff CAD

Overview

• NVIDIA is looking for a talented and experienced Team Manager to join our CAD Sign-Off group, sitting at the intersection of CAD development and circuit engineering.
• Our team drives both the development of CAD flows and tools as well as circuit studies and design methodologies, supporting world-class silicon sign-off for NVIDIA's most advanced chips.
• The role combines internal development work with close collaboration across multiple NVIDIA groups worldwide.
• You will lead a team responsible for tracking and executing these activities end-to-end, ensuring quality, alignment, and delivery across all fronts.
• Come be part of a highly professional, impactful environment where your leadership shapes the way we design and sign off our chips.
• What you'll be doing: Own the tracking and execution of team activities spanning both internal CAD flow development and circuit-level studies and design methodologies.
• Lead and coordinate engineers working across CAD sign-off, circuit analysis, and design methodology domains.
• Drive collaboration with chip design teams, full-chip engineers, and other NVIDIA CAD and design groups globally, ensuring timely and high-quality sign-off convergence.
• Serve as a key interface between the team and other NVIDIA groups, aligning priorities, sharing methodologies, and driving cross-group initiatives.
• Identify risks and bottlenecks early, propose mitigation plans, and keep projects on track.
• Foster a culture of ownership, technical excellence, and continuous improvement within the team.
• What we need to see: B.Sc./M.Sc.
• in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ overall years of experience in engineering or software development, with a solid technical foundation in CAD, EDA, or circuit design environments.
• 3+ years of experience in team management roles in CAD or Backend design domains.
• Proven ability to track, manage, and complete complex engineering activities across multiple workstreams.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and excellent written and verbal communication.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively both within a focused engineering team and in cross-group, cross-site collaborative settings.
• Ways to stand out from the crowd: Background in circuit design or analysis — familiarity with sign-off domains such as STA, power integrity, IR-drop, or EM is a strong plus.
• Prior experience in a formal management or team lead role.
• Experience conducting or reviewing circuit studies, feasibility analyses, or design methodology evaluations.
• Familiarity with EDA tools such as PrimeTime, RedHawk, or similar sign-off platforms.
• Track record of successful collaboration across multiple engineering teams or organizations.
• NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers.
• We have some of the most forward-thinking people in the world working for us.
• Are you a technically grounded leader who thrives at the crossroads of CAD and circuit engineering, and excels at building bridges across teams? Join us and make your mark on the sign-off flows powering NVIDIA's next generation of chips.
