Job summary

NVIDIA Corporation is seeking a senior analog/mixed-signal IC designer to join our mixed-signal design team. You will shape the next generation of high-speed interfaces and analog circuits, taking designs from concept to silicon characterization in a fast-paced, technology-driven environment.

You will work on 25Gbps-class circuits, define requirements, perform schematic design using Cadence tools, and collaborate with layout for optimal routing.

Qualifications

• Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• Minimum 5 years of analog design experience in industry.
• CMOS analog/mixed signal design in deep sub-micron processes (FINFET).
• Experience with design and verification tools (Cadence IC design environment, Spectre, HSpice, Finesim, XA).
• Experience crafting test benches for component and top-level circuit verification.
• Behavioral modeling of analog and digital circuits; strong debugging and analytical skills.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement high-speed interfaces and analog circuits up to 25Gbps and beyond from concept to silicon characterization.
• Define circuit requirements and drive design from schematic through layout and verification to characterization.
• Conduct schematic design of deep-submicron CMOS technologies using Spectre, HSpice or similar tools.
• Take ownership for architecture, transistor design and verification using Cadence tools.
• Optimize circuits to meet system performance specs and work with layout for routing and matching.
• Provide post-silicon bring-up support and debugging.

Job description

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 creativity and intelligence. Make the choice and join us today!

This is a dynamic team working with state of the art, unique technology. If you are someone that loves a challenge, come join this diverse team and help move the needle! We are looking for a senior engineer to be part of the mixed-signal design team building next generation NVLINK. This position offers the opportunity to have real impact in a dynamic, technology-focused company impacting product lines ranging from consumer graphics to self-driving cars and the growing field of artificial intelligence.

What you’ll be doing:

• Develop and implement high speed interfaces and analog circuits. You will have hands on experience taking innovative integrated circuit designs at data rates of 25Gbps and higher from concept through silicon characterization.
• Help by defining circuit requirements and complete design from schematic, layout, and verification to characterization.
• Conduct schematic design of deep-submicron CMOS technologies using Spectre, Hspice or like.
• Take ownership for the architecture, transistor design and verification using industry standard EDA tools such as Cadence virtuoso.
• Optimize circuit to meet the specifications for system performance.
• Work closely with layout engineers by providing detailed floorplan and guidance for matching and high-speed routings.
• Provide support for post-silicon bring-up and debugging.

What we need to see:

• Hold a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related field with strong analog design background (or equivalent experience)
• You should have a minimum of 5 years analog design experience in industry
• CMOS Analog / Mixed Signal Circuit Design Experience in deep sub-micron process (especially in FINFET)
• Experience with design and verification tools (Cadence's IC design environment, analog circuit simulation tools like Spectre, HSpice, Finesim, XA)
• Experience in crafting test bench environments for component and top level circuit verification
• Behavioral modeling of analog and digital circuits
• Strong debugging and analytical skills
• Analog simulation for noise analysis, loop stability analysis, ac/dc/tran analysis, monte-carlo, etc.
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability & desire to work as a great teammate are huge plus.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and other objective job-related factors.

The expected base salary ranges for this position are: 165,000 CAD – 215,000 CAD for Level 4; and 215,000 CAD – 265,000 CAD for Level 5.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until November 3, 2026.
