Senior Soc Design Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Shanghai, China

Senior SOC Design Engineer role focused on building complex GPU and SoC products, improving automation, quality, and scalability of design workflows. The role involves SoC integration, automation development, and applying AI thoughtfully to enhance engineering productivity.

What you'd actually do

  1. Drive SoC integration at the subsystem or full-chip level, bringing together IPs and design components into cohesive, high-quality SoC builds.
  2. Develop and maintain automation that improves build, integration, checking, debug, and delivery efficiency.
  3. Work closely with arch, RTL designers, verification engineers, physical design engineers, and software teams to align interfaces, integration quality, and project milestones.
  4. Use scripting and programming to simplify repetitive engineering tasks, improve design quality, and scale team productivity.
  5. Apply AI-assisted methods where they add value, such as data analysis, script generation, issue triage, and workflow optimization, while using sound engineering judgment to validate results.
