Senior Design Engineer - Memory Subsystem

Job Title

Senior Design Engineer - Memory Subsystem

Role Summary

Responsible for micro-architecture and RTL development of memory subsystem components used in NVIDIA GPUs and SoCs. Work cross-functionally with architects, verification, synthesis/timing, VLSI/physical design, FPGA and software teams to deliver verified, synthesis- and timing-clean designs.

Focus is on implementing features that meet performance, power and area targets and supporting bring-up and post-silicon debug.

Experience Level

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

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Own micro-architecture and RTL development for assigned design modules.
• Architect features to satisfy performance, power and area requirements.
• Collaborate with hardware architects to define critical features and trade-offs.
• Work with verification teams to ensure correctness of implemented features.
• Coordinate with timing, VLSI and physical design teams to meet timing and interface constraints and ensure routability.
• Prototype designs with FPGA and coordinate with software teams for system-level testing.
• Support post-silicon verification, bring-up and lab debug.

Requirements

Must-have qualifications and skills follow; preferred items are listed separately.

• 4+ years of ASIC/RTL design experience.
• Experience in micro-architecture and RTL development of complex designs.
• Exposure to simulation and verification tools (VCS or equivalent) and debug tools such as Debussy or GDB.
• Deep understanding of ASIC design flow: RTL design, verification, logic synthesis, prototyping, timing analysis, floor-planning, ECO, bring-up and lab debug.
• Expertise in Verilog.

Nice-to-have:

• Design experience in memory subsystem or network interconnect IP.
• Scripting skills (Python, Perl, shell).
• Strong debugging, problem-solving and teamwork skills.

Education Requirements

BS or MS degree, or equivalent practical experience.
