Senior Physical Verification Engineer

Overview

• NVIDIA is seeking passionate, highly motivated, and creative design engineers to be part of a team working on industry-leading GPUs and SOCs.
• This position offers the opportunity to have real impact in a dynamic, technology-focused company impacting product lines ranging from consumer graphics to self-driving cars and the growing field of artificial intelligence.
• We have crafted a team of exceptional people stretching around the globe, whose mission is to push the frontiers of what is possible today and define the platform for the future of computing.
• What you’ll be doing: In this position, you'll own physical verification for the full chip — taking designs from block-level assembly through full-chip integration and tapeout on the latest process nodes like TSMC A16 and TSMC 3nm.
• Own full-chip physical verification signoff — DRC, LVS, antenna — across block, partition, and top levels, and drive convergence to a clean tapeout database.
• Push the frontier of 3D die stacking and heterogeneous integration — verifying die-to-die interfaces and stitching together dies built on entirely different process nodes into a single working system.
• Be at the leading edge of Angstrom class technology, enabling signoff for breakthroughs like Super Power Rail backside power delivery and nanosheet GAA transistors.
• Reinvent how signoff is done with AI — building ML- and LLM-powered automation for root-cause analysis, and flow optimization.
• Partner with the methodology and CAD/technology groups to define and deploy correct-by-construction flows that catch issues early and reduce signoff iterations.
• Cross-functional collaboration with P&R, Timing, IR, Library team to drive design closure on time.
• What we need to see: BE/BTECH/MTECH, or equivalent, with 5+ years of experience in Physical Design Verification, full chip integration and tapeouts on the latest technology nodes.
• Strong understanding of Physical Implementation and VLSI design concepts.
• Expertise in signoff tools like Calibre, ICV, EDI, FC.
• Good understanding of the RTL2GDSII concepts related to synthesis, place & route, CTS, timing convergence, layout closure.
• Good problem-solving skills.
