About the role
Senior ASIC Design Engineer focused on clocking for GPU/CPU, collaborating with multiple teams to architect, implement, and optimize clocking across RTL, physical design, and verification, with end-to-end ASIC execution responsibilities.
Responsibilities
- As a Clocks team member, you will be architecting the clock domain to satisfy functional, physical and testing design requirements.
- Engage with multiple teams and design the GPU or CPU clocks to satisfy all the architectural/design/physical constraints.
- Improve Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) of NVIDIA chips by evaluating trade-offs across DFx, Physical Implementation, Power Optimization and Ease of timing closure to innovate and implement new Clocking topologies in RTL.
- Collaborate with Physical design and timing team to evaluate Clocking concerns and develop solutions for supporting high speed Clocking.
- Together with other team members, we deliver clock RTL information to GPU, CPU and SOC verification team, timing and DFT teams.
- Get involved in end-to-end cycle of ASIC execution starting from micro-arch, design implementation, design fixes, sign-off checks and all the way to Silicon bringup.
Qualifications
- BS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience (MS preferred)
- 3+ years of relevant work experience
- Deep understanding of logic optimization techniques and PPA trade-offs
- Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to collaborate with multiple teams
- Experience in RTL design (Verilog), verification and logic synthesis
- Strong coding skills in python or other industry-standard scripting languages
- Understanding of sub-micron silicon issues like noise, cross-talk, and OCV effects is a plus
- Implementing on-chip clocking networks is a bonus
