NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 fueled the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing! More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities which are hard to tackle, that only we can pursue, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human inventiveness and intelligence.
 

What you'll be doing:

  • Drive timing closure work for DFT logic in our GPUs, CPUs, and SOCs at block cluster level and/or full chip level

  • Work on all aspects of timing for DFT such as timing constraints, timing analysis, timing convergence, ECO implementation, and other checks

  • Collaborate with DFT and the rest of the PD team to seamlessly move projects forward with new features and methodology improvements

What we need to see:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience)

  • 5+ years of experience in Physical design/Timing

  • Experience in full-chip/sub-chip Static Timing Analysis (STA), timing constraints generation and management, and timing convergence

  • Expertise in physical design, optimization, and ECO implementation e.g. cell sizing, buffering, VT swap

  • Hands-on knowledge of industry standard Timing/STA EDA tools

  • Proficiency in programming and scripting languages, such as TCL, Python and Perl
     

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Experience with DFT timing closure for various modes e.g. scan shift, scan capture, transition faults, BIST, etc

  • In-depth understanding of multiplexed scan logic and constraints

  • Knowledge of clocking and clock controls in DFT modes

  • Experience in methodology or flow development

  • Great problem-solving skills, self-motivated
