An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent.
As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.
Are you excited to architect and build the automation infrastructure behind next-generation silicon design? We’re seeking a Senior VLSI Library Methodology Engineer to join our team and drive the development, specification, and implementation of scalable systems. These systems support library analysis, quality validation, documentation, and deployment for NVIDIA’s Physical Design flows. In this role, you will help build robust, data-driven automation and verification infrastructure.
You will collaborate with methodology, library, and build teams to improve quality, efficiency, and scalability on advanced nodes.
What you'll be doing:
Architect, specify, and implement scalable automation systems for examining, verifying, issue checking, reporting, and release readiness across GPU and SoC flows
Build and enhance end-to-end infrastructure, from analysis pipelines and regression frameworks to dashboards and reporting systems, with strong focus on usability, maintainability, and scale
Develop automated library analysis, validation, and quality control flows using modern scripting and EDA tools, including consideration of runtime, capacity, and resource efficiency for large-scale analysis
Collaborate with design, CAD, and library teams to integrate quality systems and improve cell design methodologies, applying adaptive threshold partitioning
Define and implement methodologies for issue triage, data integrity, quality metrics, and release criteria that improve visibility and decision-making across the flow
What we need to see:
M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience)
4+ years of experience in library methodology, physical design, CAD, design automation, or related VLSI infrastructure development
Strong software development skills in Python, C++, or Perl, with hands-on experience building workflow automation, data pipelines, validation frameworks, and reporting/dashboard systems
Experience designing and implementing production-quality technical systems from an architectural and implementation point of view, including specification, scalability, and operational robustness
Hands-on experience with industry-standard EDA tools such as Innovus, Fusion Compiler, Crosscheck, Virtuoso, or similar, including scripting, customization, or tool integration
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Understanding of how library models are consumed in chip design flows, including synthesis, place and route, timing closure, and power analysis
Experience building robust quality systems for library modeling, validation, or physical design automation, including exposure to contextual model calibration
Background in designing infrastructure that tracks critical metrics such as validation pass rates, regression health, issue trends, release readiness, and resource utilization
Experience balancing analysis quality with runtime, compute capacity, and infrastructure efficiency in large-scale automation environments
Applied AI/ML/LLM experience to improve EDA workflows, automation systems, or design methodologies
We welcome you join our team with some of the most hard-working people in the world working together to promote rapid growth. Are you passionate about becoming a part of a best-in-class team supporting the latest in GPU and AI technology? If so, we want to hear from you.
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 136,000 USD - 218,500 USD for Level 3, and 168,000 USD - 264,500 USD for Level 4.
