SOC Design Engineer

Overview

• We are looking for a Senior SOC Design Engineer.
• The complexity of the chips we build has increased manifold over the years.
• We are now packing tens of billions of transistors in a chip to meet the growing computing demand.
• The NVIDIA System-On-Chip (SOC) group is looking for a star candidate with an interest in RTL integration and chip level front-end design, including padring, pinmuxing, SOC Assembly process, and fuse / floor-sweep design.
• You must have a real passion for methodologies and automation solutions that enable SOC creation in the most optimized way.
• In this position, you will get the chance to build complex Tegra and GPU chips, work closely with chip management to set ASIC execution timelines & goals while interfacing directly with System Architecture, unit-level ASIC, Physical Design, CAD, Package Design, DFT and other teams.
• Additionally, you will be involved in defining and creating methodologies that create more efficient and flexible SOCs in future.
• What you'll be doing: Define and develop system-level methodologies, tools, and IPs to build SOCs in an efficient and scalable manner.
• Identify pain points and inefficiencies in the front-end chip implementation process and propose ideas to solve them.
• Responsible for front-end design quality checks, reviews and driving those with cross-functional teams.
• What we need to see: B.Tech or M.Tech or equivalent experience in Electronics or Computer Engineering.
• 2+ years of industry experience in chip design, specializing in SOC integration and design automation.
• Padring and fuse / floorsweep design experience is a plus.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Experience in RTL design (Verilog), System-On-Chip design/implementation flow, and design automation.
• Strong coding skills in Perl, Python, or other industry-standard scripting languages.
• Exposure to various Chip Design Functions to be able to collaborate and solve complex cross functional problems.
• Excellent communication skills to interact with cross functional teams to build consensus.
• Good teamwork spirit and collaboration skills with team members.
• Experience in synthesis, physical design and DFT s a plus.
• Experience in RTL Build and Design Automation is a plus.
