NVIDIA Networking Clock design team is looking for experienced top notch ASIC design engineer to work on next generation of Nvidia Networking chips. We're looking for profound and multi-disciplinary background in Clock design domains to lead Clocks Micro-Architecture activities. This role requires working with multiple teams as Architecture, IP, Physical design, Timing and Post-Si teams. The complexity of clocking scheme has grown substantially over recent chip generations with increased focus on performance, power and quality. Modern C locking design needs to balance high frequency clocks with power, DF x , noise, circuit and physical design constraints.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Working on next generation of Networking Switch, NIC and SoC products.
  • Micro architect and design next generation clock topologies and modules.
  • ASIC Clock scheme definition.
  • Improve Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) of state-of-the-art NVIDIA chips by evaluating trade-offs across DF x , Physical Implementation, Power Optimization and Ease of timing closure to innovate and implement new Clocking topologies in RTL.
  • Collaborate with Physical design and timing team to evaluate Clocking concerns and come up with solutions for supporting high speed Clocking.
  • Understand physical aspects of the chip and develop enhanced clock distribution techniques.
  • Get involved in end-to-end cycle of ASIC execution starting from micro-arch, design implementation, design fixes, sign-off checks and all the way to Silicon bringu p.
  • Support Post-Si debug, characterization and productization activities.

What We Need To See

  • BS c or MS c degree s in EE or equivalent experience from known universities.
  • At least 5 + years of work experience in RTL design, Gate-Level and Circuit design optimization .
  • Deep understanding of logic optimization techniques and PPA trade-offs.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to collaborate with multiple teams.
  • Excellent problem solving and debugging skills.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

  • Prior experience in RTL design (Verilog), verification and synthesis.
  • Clock IPs profound knowledge: PLL, DLL, Compensator.
  • Understanding of sub-micron silicon issues like noise, cross-talk, and OCV effects is a bonus. Prior experience in implementing on-chip clocking networks.
