ASIC Design and STA Engineer
NVIDIAJob Title
ASIC Design and STA Engineer
Role Summary
Join the Networking Silicon physical design team as an STA engineer responsible for timing convergence and signoff for full chips and chiplets. The role involves clock planning, top-level floorplanning, timing integration of digital partitions and analog IP, and close collaboration with CAD, logic design, and DFT teams to deliver high-speed networking silicon.
Experience Level
Mid-level. The posting specifies 3+ years of relevant experience in physical design and STA.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include driving timing closure and collaborating across design disciplines to achieve signoff.
- Lead full-chip and chiplet STA convergence from early stages through signoff.
- Participate in top-level floorplanning and clock planning activities.
- Optimize and contribute to CAD signoff flows and timing convergence methodologies.
- Integrate timing for digital partitions and analog IP; provide feedback to PD/RTL to drive convergence.
- Work closely with logic design and DFT engineers to define and implement timing constraints for various work modes, optimizing for runtime and efficiency.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience.
- Minimum 3 years of experience in physical design and static timing analysis (STA).
- Proven experience with RTL-to-GDS flow and STA-driven design convergence.
- Hands-on STA experience from early stages to signoff using Synopsys PrimeTime; deep knowledge of timing concepts.
- Familiarity with physical-design EDA tools (for example Synopsys and Cadence toolsets).
- Experience with floorplanning, clock planning, and implementing/optimizing timing constraints.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills; effective teammate in cross-functional teams.
- Nice-to-have: experience improving CAD signoff flows and timing methodologies.
Education Requirements
B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering was specified.
