NVIDIA is hiring a Senior Physical Design Engineer - LPU

About the Role

Join a team at the forefront of semiconductor innovation, where you'll take ownership of the full physical design flow for next-generation LPU architectures. In this role, you'll lead critical path activities from synthesis through tapeout, ensuring robust design closure and silicon integrity.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead full-flow physical implementation at both block and top-level, including synthesis, floorplanning, place and route, timing constraint development, UPF implementation, and logical equivalency checking.
  • Collaborate with architecture, logic design, and IP teams to resolve integration challenges, eliminate bottlenecks, and optimize PPA across complex multi-voltage designs.
  • Drive design closure with sign-off teams, ensuring compliance with all verification requirements for successful GDSII delivery.
  • Develop and deploy data-driven EDA methodologies in partnership with CAD, leveraging automation and AI-enhanced techniques to improve design efficiency and quality.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or equivalent industry experience, with 5+ years of hands-on physical design for large-scale SoCs on advanced nodes.
  • Proven success in managing RTL-to-GDSII flows, including synthesis, CTS, routing, extraction, and physical/electrical sign-off.
  • Strong expertise in low-power design using UPF/CPF, formal verification (LEC), and multi-domain power management.
  • Deep knowledge of clock tree synthesis and multi-corner, multi-mode timing analysis.
  • Experience optimizing power, performance, and area across the design lifecycle.
  • Proficiency in EMIR analysis, power grid design, and ECO implementation for timing closure.
  • Skilled in DFT integration at the block level using industry best practices.
  • Expertise with industry-standard EDA tools and strong scripting ability in TCL, Python, or Perl.

Preferred Experience

  • Background in integrating high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, CXL, C2C, or die-to-die interconnects.

Compensation & Benefits

This role offers a competitive base salary, equity participation, and a comprehensive benefits package including health coverage, paid time off, and relocation support. The company fosters a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative environment committed to engineering excellence and equal opportunity for all.
