Physical Design Backend Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Tel Aviv, Israel

NVIDIA is seeking a Physical Design Backend Engineer to join their Networking Silicon engineering team. The role involves the physical design of high-speed communication devices, focusing on power, area, and performance. Responsibilities include synthesis, place and route, timing closure, power analysis, and physical verification, covering the full RTL2GDS flow.

What you'd actually do

  1. Physical design of blocks according to specifications under challenging constraints targeting for the best power, area, and performance.
  2. Be exposed and work on a variety of challenging designs (including high cell count and HS blocks). Resolving complex timing and congestion problems.
  3. Daily work involves all aspects of physical design chip development (RTL2GDS) - synthesis, power and clock distribution, place and route, timing closure, power and noise analysis, and physical verification.
  4. Taking part inflows development.

Skills

Required

  • Knowledge in physical design flows and methodologies (PNR, STA, physical verification).
  • Deep understanding of all aspects of Physical construction and Integration.
  • Knowledge in Physical Design Verification methodology LVS/DRC.
  • Familiarity with physical design EDA tools (such as Synopsys, Cadence, etc.).

Nice to have

  • B.SC./ M.SC. in Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering or equivalent work experience.
