Senior Physical Design Methodology Engineer

We are part of the global circuits team at NVIDIA that design the state-of-the-art GPUs for all applications such as supercomputers, gaming consoles and self driving cars. Come join us in our mission to Engineer the next generation of best-in-class products. Our teams focus is on architecture and design of CMOS and Silicon-Photonics high-speed chip interfaces (NVLink, IEEE, PCIE, USB, OIF) and other complex photonic functions. Strong hands-on experience in the lab with silicon evaluation, debugging, characterization, and bring up. Do you want to work on leading-edge problems alongside some of the most forward-thinking people in the world?NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked 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 tackle, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human imagination and intelligence. Join our team with varied strengths today!
