Senior CPU Design Engineer

The NVIDIA CPU team is looking for inquisitive, motivated engineers with experience to build ground-breaking CPUs. As a senior member of our design team, you will be responsible for the design and implementation of high-performance, low power CPU sub-system modules. You will work closely with architects, design engineers, verification engineers, and physical design engineers teams to accomplish your tasks.

What you will be doing:

• Drive the micro-architecture development, feasibility studies and documentation and of CPU sub-systems.

• Implement in RTL and coordinate execution with the verification team to ensure that the design is functional.

• Exercise logic design skills to optimize and meet performance, timing and power targets.

• Deliver a synthesis/timing clean design while working with the physical design team ensuring a routable and physically implementable design.

• Support hardware engineering activities including chip floor plan, power/clock distribution, chip assembly, timing closure, power and noise analysis, and back-end verification.

• Develop flows and tools as necessary in support of design activities.

What we need to see:

• BS or MS in electrical engineering or computer engineering (or equivalent experience).

• 8+ years of proven experience in micro-architecture and RTL development of complex, high speed designs, ideally in CPU subsystems.

• Exposure to Computer Architecture and Digital Systems design.

• Highly proficient in logic design, Verilog and/or System-Verilog, with a deep understanding of physical design and VLSI.

• Strengths in scripting languages such as Perl, Python.

• Good communication and interpersonal skills.
