Job summary

NVIDIA is seeking a senior-level engineer in California to develop incremental physical-design technology and advanced routing algorithms. The role involves ownership from concept to production, tackling ECOs with DRC-aware solutions, and integrating cross-domain optimization across logic, timing, clocks, and power delivery.

Ideal candidates have 5+ years of relevant experience, strong C++ expertise, and a track record in high-performance software architecture and algorithm development.

Qualifications

• MS, PhD, or equivalent experience with 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Strong expertise in C++, high-performance software architecture and algorithms.
• Deep understanding of detailed routing, including DRC-aware implementation.
• Understanding of ECO co-optimization with clocks, DFT, and power delivery.

Responsibilities

• Develop incremental physical-design technology that can rapidly implement high-performance logic changes with DRC and parasitic awareness for all-layer and metal-only ECOs.
• Invent improved detailed-routing algorithms for DRC constraints in latest manufacturing processes.
• Help craft cross-domain optimization tools that consider logic, timing, clocks, testability, power distribution, placement, routing, and DRCs.
• Own problems end-to-end—from algorithm invention through implementation, validation, and production deployment.
