Physical Design Backend Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Yokneam, Israel

NVIDIA is seeking a Physical Design 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 RTL2GDS flows, synthesis, power and clock distribution, place and route, timing closure, power and noise analysis, and physical verification.

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

  • B.SC./ M.SC. in Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering or equivalent work experience.
  • Proven experience in RTL2GDS flows and methodologies.
  • 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

  • Great teammate.
