Job description

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!

The NVIDIA VLSI team is looking for a Senior Cell Modeling and Verification Engineer with strong experience in hardware design and methodologies to help develop NVIDIA’s ground breaking ASIC products and work hands on with new NVIDIA hardware to ensure it meets design, feature, and quality objectives. Our team is at the intersection of circuit design and digital design to help craft the most power-efficient and performance leading SoCs and GPUs to push the state of the art ASIC Verilog modelling.

What you will be doing:

• Work with sophisticated technologies and develop behavioral model and verification for custom mixed signal design cells that would be used on all the NVIDIA products.
• Use Verilog, SystemVerilog, Perl, or Python and understanding of PLL and other high-speed interconnects to model, verify, emulate/prototype mixed-signal designs.
• Collaborate with cross function teams with regards to library build, cell integration, ASIC verification and DFT simulation.
• Document, implement, and deliver fully verified and high performance RTL to achieve design targets.

What we need to see:

• Bachelors or Masters in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience).
• 3+ years of relevant experiences.
• Hands‑on experience with RTL simulation and waveform debug.
• Strong understanding of Verilog HDL.
• Scripting experiences and skills using Python or Perl.
• Knowledge of fundamental digital design and logic design concepts.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Previous digital design experience is a plus.
• Previous experience running simulations in Verilog.
• Shown ability to collaborate with many groups and communicate technical details.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 136,000 USD - 218,500 USD.
