NVIDIA

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 seek, that only we can pursue, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence. We are looking for you! You'll work on the design and development of our next generation custom SRAMs. As part of the Digital IP Team, you will work with other team members in cutting edge process technologies and solve difficult mask design challenges. Your work on custom and compiled RAM layouts will be used in all of NVIDIA’s future chips!

What You’ll Be Doing

Perform physical layout for custom embedded SRAM structures in state-of-the-art FinFET and gate-all-around technologies using Cadence tools

Floor planning, custom layout, and verifying layout design rules and transistor-level schematics

Verify the robustness of your layout from a performance and reliability perspective

Communicating with P&R teams to determine optimal interface specifications between custom layout and standard cell-based logic

Lead and mentor other mask designers to improve team efficiency and align design methodologies

What We Need To See

Associate’s degree (or equivalent experience)

8+ years of proven experience in mask design with FinFETs and/or gate-all-around process technologies

Deep understanding of digital and analog circuit layout concepts in groundbreaking technologies

Strong background with Cadence custom circuit design tools, particularly Virtuoso

Knowledge of DRC and LVS checking flows such as ICV or Calibre, and extensive experience using these tools

Good communication skills and demonstrated team‑centric decision making experience

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

Custom SRAM mask design experience

SRAM compiler experience

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is $124,000 - $195,500 for Level 4, and $144,000 - $230,000 for Level 5.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until November 22, 2025.
