NVIDIA

Senior Mask Design Engineer - Hardware

In short

Senior Mask Layout Design Engineer role at NVIDIA, performing physical layout for mixed-signal circuits (PLLs, SerDes, ADCs, ESD structures) in sub-micron CMOS technologies using Cadence tools. Works cross-functionally with ASIC and mixed-signal engineers on VLSI product integration, including floor planning and design rule verification. Requires 7+ years of mask/layout design experience, deep analog layout expertise, Cadence Virtuoso mastery, familiarity with verification tools (Dracula, Hercules, Calibre, Primeyield), scripting skills (Perl, Python, SKILL), and knowledge of DRC/LVS flows.

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself. Our invention of the GPU sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. Today, research in artificial intelligence is booming worldwide, which calls for highly scalable and massively parallel computation horsepower that NVIDIA GPUs excel.
We are looking for a Senior Mask Layout Design Engineer, someone who is excited to join a growing and dynamic group of diverse individuals responsible for handling meaningful high-speed mixed-signal circuit designs.
What you'll be doing:
•Performing physical layout for mixed-signal functions like PLL's, high speed SerDes, Analog to Digital converters, ESD structures designs in state-of-the-art sub-micron CMOS technologies using Cadence tools.
•You'll work cross functionally with ASIC and mixed-signal engineers to customize designs for integration in VLSI products.
•Take part in floor planning, custom layout and verifying against design rules and schematics.
What we need to see:
•Have a BSEE or equivalent experience.
•Minimum of 7+ years industry experience in Mask and Layout Design.
•Deep understanding of analog circuit layout concepts in submicron CMOS technologies.
•You are an authority with Cadence custom circuit design tools - particularly virtuoso.
•Experience running and debugging with verification tools such as Dracula, Hercules, Calibre, and Primeyield.
