Senior SRAM Circuit Design Engineer

Nvidia • Santa Clara, CA

34d • Hybrid

About The Position

We are looking for a Senior SRAM Circuit Designer! NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI - the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a "learning machine" that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to tackle, that only we can pursue, and that matter to the world. This is our life's work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence. We are looking for you. You will work on the design and development of our next generation of custom SRAM design. As part of the Digital IP Team, work with other team members on the new process design challenges, have the chance to create novel low power and high performance circuits, and develop in-house design and verification flows for SRAM design that would be used on all the NVIDIA products.

Requirements

• MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering or equivalent experience
• 4+ years of relevant experience
• Strong background in deep submicron process issues
• Proven experience on transistor-level circuit design and circuit behavior analysis
• Deep background of the design, verification and characterization of SRAM/caches
• Strong understanding on generating performance/power/margin data of SRAM, validation of data and QA process
• Familiar with EMIR/Aging/Self heating and their impacts to circuit/layout implementations and signoff flows
• Expert with ASIC design semi-custom and full-custom flow
• Hands-on experience running SPICE simulation, and capability to adapt to new simulation tools
• Strong proficiency in scripting language, such as, Perl, Tcl, Make, and automation methods/algorithms a certain plus
• Great team-work, communication and analytical skills

Responsibilities

• Work on the state of the art processor design in advanced technologies, and on the design, verification and characterization of SRAM
• Drive the concepts of the transistor level circuit design, modeling and performance analysis process and optimize design for power, timing, area and yield
• You'll make the layout floorplan and work with layout designers to optimize it for power and performance
• Collaborate with the support development of tools using Perl/Python
• We will have creative new ideas to support existing tools and flows
• Develop and Perform timing characterization and circuit verification
• You'll have a voice to collaborate with cross function teams with regards to sram issues
• Use Verilog, VHDL, simulators and waveform debugging tools. Write RTL and perform verification against circuit

Benefits

• With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers.
• You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
