Senior Physical Design Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Yokneam, Israel +1

Senior Physical Design Engineer for NVIDIA's Networking Silicon engineering team, focusing on high-speed communication devices. Responsibilities include physical design from RTL to GDSII, synthesis, power/clock distribution, place and route, timing closure, power/noise analysis, and physical verification, as well as contributing to flow development. Requires B.SC./M.SC. in Electrical/Computer Engineering or equivalent, knowledge of physical design flows (PNR, STA, physical verification), understanding of physical construction and integration, familiarity with EDA tools, and 5+ years of experience.

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.
