ASIC Engineer

NVIDIA builds accelerated computing platforms that are redefining AI, data centers, autonomous systems, and scientific computing. The Global Flows Team advances RTL quality and sign-off methodologies used across NVIDIA CPU programs. This position connects digital implementation and microarchitecture with CDC, RDC, RTL-NA/DA, PSI and lint. The work spans methodology development, technical analysis, tool deployment, and coordination across development and CAD organizations. Results improve RTL quality, project predictability, and readiness for silicon.

What you’ll be doing As an ASIC Engineer, you will embark on an ambitious journey to develop and deploy innovative RTL design-quality methodologies. These include CDC, RDC, Netlist/Design Auditors, Power Insertion, lint, and related structural checks. Your role will involve:

• Analyzing flow results in the context of design intent and identifying root causes across RTL, constraints, tools, and methodology.

• Establishing quality requirements and readiness criteria for project achievements while monitoring regressions, violation trends, and sign-off status.

• Collaborating across RTL build, DFT, clocks, reset, low-power, physical-design, verification, and CAD teams to resolve technical issues.

• Assessing new tool releases and methodology capabilities, coordinating their integration into project environments.

• Improving runtime, debug efficiency, waiver management, reporting, and training through automation, reusable scripts, and engineering guidelines.

What we need to see We are seeking a professional with:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

• 3+ years of proven experience in ASIC or SoC RTL design or design-methodology.

• Practical experience with Verilog or SystemVerilog build, analysis, and debugging.

• Knowledge of digital design and microarchitecture, including pipelines, finite-state machines, clock/reset architectures, synchronizers, handshakes, asynchronous FIFOs, metastability, and power-domain crossings.

• Experience with front-end methodologies such as lint, CDC/RDC, structural RTL analysis, low-power verification, synthesis, or timing constraints.

• The ability to relate methodology results to RTL behavior and perform detailed root-cause analysis.

• Experience with Linux development environments and scripting in Python, Tcl, Perl, shell, or a comparable language.

Ways to stand out from the crowd To shine in this role, you may possess:

• Experience with RTL integration, design bring-up, or multi-team debugging at the unit, subsystem, chiplet, or SoC level.

• Familiarity with tools such as Meridian, SpyGlass, VC CDC, Questa CDC, Design Auditor, Power insertion, or equivalent.

• Knowledge of UPF and low-power RTL implementation or verification.

• Experience with SDC, synthesis, static timing analysis, formal verification, or equivalence checking.
