Job description

Join to apply for the ASIC Design Engineer - New College Grad 2025 role at NVIDIA

Our work at NVIDIA is dedicated towards a computing model focused on visual and AI computing. For two decades, NVIDIA has pioneered visual computing, the art and science of computer graphics, with our invention of the GPU. The GPU has also shown to be spectacularly effective at solving some of the most complex problems in computer science. Today, NVIDIA’s GPU simulates human intelligence, running deep learning algorithms and acting as the brain of computers, robots and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. We are looking to grow our company and teams with the smartest people in the world and there has never been a more exciting time to join our team!

NVIDIA is seeking outstanding ASIC Design Engineers to design and implement the world's leading GPU and SoC's. You will contribute to designing multiple products that will be used in a variety of applications from consumer graphics to self-driving cars and the growing field of artificial intelligence. The System-ASIC team works closely with the System Architecture team on product definitions, implements new innovative flows to improve our chip yield, and addresses multiple sectors. The team also handles the architecture, design, and synthesis of multiple system-level modules.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Be an integral part of the System ASIC Design team to develop and improve RTL and SOC designs.
• Collaborate with architects, ASIC designers, and verification engineers to design sophisticated system-level modules such as Floorsweep, In-silicon measurement, Reset and Boot controllers.
• Responsible for RTL design, logic synthesis, and timing analysis of several modules.
• Integrate modules into the overall SOC design and work closely with other teams during silicon bring-up to ensure successful SOC-level integration.
• Use your expertise to identify and implement improvements in the current design flow and methodologies to enhance efficiency and quality.

What We Need To See

• Completion of a Bachelor's or Master's in Microelectronics, Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• Proven knowledge of digital design concepts and experience in ASIC design flow including RTL design, verification, logic synthesis, and timing analysis.
• Strong coding skills in Perl, Python, C++, or other industry-standard scripting languages.
• Basic understanding of verification methodology.
• Proven analytical and problem-solving skills.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• Familiarity with ARM CPU and SoC system architecture, microprocessor, and microcontroller fundamentals (caches, buses, memory controllers, DMA, etc.).
• Experience with reset controllers, boot, fuse controllers, or UCIe protocol.
• Hands-on experience in programming (C/C++) and scripting (Perl/Python).

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!
