Job Title

Senior Digital Design Engineer

Role Summary

Join the Semi-Custom Silicon products group to design and implement NVLink Fusion-based AI infrastructure SoC blocks. The role focuses on micro-architecture, RTL implementation, and delivery of high-performance, area- and power-efficient datapath and protocol blocks for rack-scale AI connectivity.

Experience Level

Senior - typically requires 12+ years of relevant experience.

Responsibilities

Deliver RTL blocks from micro-architecture through synthesis and timing closure while collaborating across disciplines.

  • Analyze architectural requirements and perform trade-off studies for implementation.
  • Specify micro-architecture and implement high-quality RTL for datapath and protocol blocks.
  • Deliver fully verified blocks that are synthesis- and timing-clean.
  • Collaborate with chip architects, verification and formal teams, and SoC integration engineers to meet delivery goals.
  • Identify, evaluate, customize, and integrate third-party IP when appropriate.

Requirements

Key qualifications and technical capabilities required for immediate contribution.

  • Must-have: 12+ years of relevant ASIC or chip-design experience.
  • Experience with high-speed connectivity protocols (examples: NVLink, PCIe, Ethernet, UCIE).
  • Proven delivery of high-bandwidth datapath blocks (data movers, protocol adapters, NoC, arbiters, schedulers).
  • Strong RTL design skills and experience producing synthesis- and timing-clean implementations.
  • Deep understanding of ASIC design flows, synthesis, static timing analysis, and signoff methodology.
  • Track record of cross-functional collaboration with verification, formal, and integration teams.
  • Strong analytical skills and effective interpersonal/teaming abilities.
  • Nice-to-have: Prior experience with rack-scale AI interconnects or NVLink Fusion-related technology.
