Senior VLSI Integration Engineer

Job Title

Senior VLSI Integration Engineer

Role Summary

Work on SOC-level integration for complex networking chips within NVIDIA's System-On-Chip (SOC) group. The role focuses on RTL integration, chip build and assembly, padring design/verification, and flow automation to enable efficient SOC creation.

Collaborate with ASIC, Physical Design, CAD, Package Design, Software, DFT, verification, and other cross-functional teams to deliver tapeout-ready designs and integrations.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 7+ years of chip design or ASIC integration experience.

Responsibilities

Deliver SOC-level integration tasks and support flows that enable chip assembly and handoff to downstream teams.

• Implement chip-level designs through cross-functional collaboration (Functional Design, DFT, Design Verification, System Verification, STA, Physical Design).
• Perform RTL integration, partitioning, and trial synthesis for complex designs.
• Debug functional and structural issues; resolve design quality problems impacting implementation.
• Work on CDC/RDC analysis and readiness for physical design and emulation.
• Participate in development and deployment of integration and automation flows.
• Coordinate with physical design, emulation, firmware and other downstream consumers to ensure deliverables meet requirements.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and attributes for the role.

• Strong hands-on RTL design and integration skills in SystemVerilog.
• Proficiency in one or more scripting languages (Python, Bash, Tcl).
• Practical experience with SOC integration tasks: partitioning, synthesis trials, design quality checks.
• Familiarity with CDC/RDC issues and mitigation strategies.
• Ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines and communicate technical status clearly; strong teamwork skills.
• Attention to quality and delivery-focused execution.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience delivering IPs or integrations to physical design, emulation, or firmware teams.
• Prior work on padring design/verification, packaging, or SOC automation tools and flows.

Education Requirements

B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering (as stated). No certifications specified. Equivalent practical experience not explicitly listed.
