SoC Clocks Design Automation Engineer
NVIDIAJob Title
SoC Clocks Design Automation Engineer
Role Summary
Join the Networking Silicon team to develop and support clock-related design flows and methodologies for SoC and networking chips. The role focuses on improving automation, ensuring timing and performance requirements are met, and supporting SoC top-level integration and construction activities.
Experience Level
Level - Mid-level. At least 2 years of confirmed experience in SoC design, design automation, or methodology development.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include developing and maintaining clock design flows and automation, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and supporting analysis and integration activities.
- Develop and maintain design automation and methodologies for SoC and networking clock flows.
- Collaborate with design, STA, and project teams to support timely and high-quality design closure.
- Develop and improve SoC top-level automation scripts and flows using existing infrastructure and tools.
- Support SoC integration and construction flow activities across multiple projects.
- Assist in timing, power, and noise analysis to ensure efficient performance.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience; a short list of preferred qualifications follows.
- Experience in SoC design, design automation, or methodology development (see Experience Level for years).
- Strong programming or scripting skills in at least one language (Python preferred; Perl, Tcl, or Make are advantages).
- Understanding of physical design concepts including placement, routing, timing closure, and ECO implementation.
- Familiarity with EDA tool flows for synthesis, place-and-route, and timing analysis (Synopsys or Cadence).
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience developing or maintaining SoC design or automation flows.
- Knowledge of timing-related analysis (crosstalk, noise, delay).
- Background in power or timing optimization techniques.
- Demonstrated ability to work effectively across multi-functional teams and self-motivation to improve existing flows.
Education Requirements
B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering, or relevant professional experience (equivalent practical experience accepted).
