Senior Design Automation Engineer, Applied AI

  2026-05-06     Nvidia     Austin,TX  
Description:

What You'll Be Doing

  • Architect and develop AI-driven solutions for static timing, constraints quality, and closure prediction.
  • Integrate heterogeneous data sources—timing reports, constraint graphs, design metadata, silicon correlation—into structured knowledgebases and training pipelines.
  • Develop autonomous analysis agents that interact with timing tools (e.g., PrimeTime, Nanotime, Tempus) to perform multi‑corner, multi‑mode optimization and constraint debugging.
  • Implement scalable orchestration across Flow‑Server and Digital Engineer platforms, enabling AI‑in‑loop decision‑making for sign‑off readiness.
  • Collaborate with methodology and sign‑off teams to validate models on live projects, improving coverage, predictability, and engineering productivity.
  • Build interpretable AI pipelines using graph neural networks, large language models, and process‑aware reasoning engines for timing closure recommendations.
  • Be responsible for the end‑to‑end lifecycle—from data curation and model training to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement in production environments.

What We Need To See

  • BS (or equivalent experience) in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 12+ years of experience in AI/ML solution development, ideally for EDA, semiconductor, or complex data domains.
  • Strong background in VLSI/ASIC design—with deep understanding of timing, constraints, STA, or sign‑off workflows.
  • Proficiency in Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow, and graph or agentic AI frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, LangChain, Ray, NetworkX).
  • Experience developing data pipelines, knowledge graphs, or process models for structured engineering data.
  • Working knowledge of timing tools (PrimeTime, Nanotime, Tempus) and scripting integration with EDA environments.
  • Experience with AI orchestration frameworks, reasoning based on prompts, and multi‑agent automation is highly desirable.
  • Strong problem‑solving skills, technical depth, and a mentality for experimentation and continuous learning.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

  • Experience with constraint validation, false‑path detection, and timing‑exception modeling.
  • Prior exposure to AI in physical design automation, silicon/process modeling, or EDA flow automation.
  • Contributions to open‑source AI or flow automation projects.
  • Publications or patents in AI for design automation or semiconductor engineering.

Benefits

  • Base salary based on location, experience, and market benchmarking: $196,000–$310,500 (Level 5) and $232,000–$368,000 (Level 6).
  • Eligibility for equity and comprehensive benefits package.
  • Competitive salary and benefits package aligned with industry standards.
