Senior SoC Design Engineer
NVIDIAJob Title
Senior SoC Design Engineer
Role Summary
Responsible for designing and delivering next-generation System-on-Chip (SoC) products by coordinating cross-functional teams across architecture, design, verification, and validation to achieve first-time-right silicon.
Work includes SoC integration, quality checks, connectivity signoff, and mentoring SoC engineers.
Experience Level
Senior — 3–12 years of hands-on SoC design experience.
Responsibilities
Primary duties include driving SoC execution, integrations, and cross-team coordination.
- Drive SoC execution: define, track, and manage dependencies with verification, DFT, STA, low power, and validation teams.
- Lead SoC assembly and quality activities: connectivity reviews, lint and CDC checks, bug triage, code reviews, and ECOs.
- Participate in silicon architecture and micro-architecture reviews; ensure alignment with SW/FW, modeling, verification, emulation, and post-silicon validation.
- Collaborate with IP teams on IP identification, selection, integration, and licensing.
- Hire, mentor, and grow SoC design engineers; identify process inefficiencies and implement improvements.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience.
- 3–12 years hands-on SoC design experience.
- Expertise in Verilog / SystemVerilog.
- Knowledge of AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB) and SoC clocks, reset, and debug architectures.
- Familiarity with peripherals such as USB, PCIe, and SDCC.
- Strong scripting skills in Perl, Python, or equivalent.
- Experience with RTL build flows and Makefiles; synthesis experience is a plus.
- Experience developing tools and infrastructure using Perl or Python.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Experience working with SoC-level floorplanning teams is an advantage.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's or Master's degree (or equivalent practical experience) in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
