Senior ASIC Design Engineer - XBAR IP

Job Title

Senior ASIC Design Engineer - XBAR IP

Role Summary

Design and deliver memory-subsystem/interconnect components for NVIDIA Graphics processors. The role covers micro-architecture, RTL implementation, verification, synthesis/timing closure, and post-silicon debug while collaborating with architects, verification, synthesis/timing, physical design, FPGA and software teams.

Work will affect GPU product lines across consumer graphics, automotive, and AI applications.

Experience Level

Senior-level. The posting requests 4+ years of ASIC design experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include architecture, RTL, verification, and cross-team integration.

• Own micro-architecture and RTL development for assigned modules.
• Architect features to meet performance, power, and area targets.
• Collaborate with hardware architects to define critical features.
• Work with verification teams to ensure correctness of implemented features.
• Coordinate with timing, VLSI and physical design teams to meet timing, interface and routability requirements.
• Integrate with FPGA and software teams for prototypes and software testing.
• Participate in post-silicon bring-up, verification and lab debug.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• 4+ years of ASIC design experience.
• Proven RTL design of complex blocks across multiple projects (2–3 projects minimum).
• Experience with simulation and verification tools (e.g., VCS or equivalent) and debug tools (e.g., Debussy, GDB).
• Deep understanding of the ASIC design flow: RTL design, verification, logic synthesis, prototyping, DFT, timing analysis, floor-planning, ECO, bring-up and lab debug.
• Expertise in Verilog.

Nice-to-have:

• Design experience in memory subsystems or network interconnect IP.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Scripting skills (Python, Perl, shell).
• Leadership experience leading small teams (2–3 members).
• Good interpersonal and teamwork abilities.

Education Requirements

BS or MS degree, or equivalent practical experience. The posting does not specify a required field of study.
