Description du poste

Are you a Mask Layout Design Engineer who is seeking an outstanding opportunity? We are looking for a Senior Mask Layout Design Engineer – someone who is excited to join a growing group of diverse individuals responsible for handling high-speed mixed-signal circuit designs! NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 fueled the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to solve, that only we can pursue, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence. Join our dynamic team today!

What You'll Be Doing

• The role entails working collaboratively and multi-functionally with a multi-disciplinary team of circuit designers and mask designers.
• Perform physical layout for digital and mixed-signal functions like clock generators, op-amps, sensors, security circuits, power delivery circuits in state-of-the-art sub-micron CMOS technologies using Cadence tools.
• You will work with ASIC and mixed-signal engineers to customize designs for integration in VLSI products.
• Job duties will include floor planning, custom layout and verifying against design rules and schematics.
• Fill, post-processing, DRC mitigation, and foundry interactions.

What We Need To See

• BS in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience).
• At least 7+ years of hands‑on layout design experience.
• Deep understanding of analog circuit layout concepts in sub‑micron CMOS technologies. Validated experience with Cadence custom circuit design tools — particularly virtuoso.
• Experience running and debugging DRC and LVS with verification tools such as Dracula, Hercules, Calibre.
• Leadership experience mentoring and assisting junior mask designers, implementing standard processes for the team, and keeping checklists for optimal layout design.
• Communicate with diverse team of mask designers across geographies and timezones.
• Ability to work optimally in a team, good interpersonal skills and positive energy.
• Proficiency in scripting languages like Perl, Python, skill etc. is a plus.
• Knowledge of layout automation is a definite plus.
