Job description

We are now looking for a motivated Senior Circuit Design Engineer to join our dynamic and growing team. If you are looking for a challenging and exciting role in improving the netlist and timing quality of our designs and if you are a self-starter and highly motivated individual who loves to collaborate and find solutions to hard technical problems, join us today!

For over two decades, NVIDIA has been at the forefront of transforming how the world computes—from pioneering the GPU in 1999 to powering today’s AI revolution. We’re a company that thrives on collective innovation, where diverse perspectives drive breakthrough solutions in Graphics, Data Center, and Artificial Intelligence. As both a learning machine and organization, we believe the best ideas emerge when brilliant minds from all backgrounds collaborate to solve the world’s most complex challenges. Join us in building technology that amplifies human potential and creates opportunities for everyone to thrive in the digital future.

What you’ll be doing:

• Participate in cutting edge Processor design in deep submicron technologies.
• Work as part of a global circuits team to design innovative circuits (digital, semi-custom and mixed-signal analog) for silicon correlation and noise mitigation.
• Collaborate and work closely with cross-functional teams to improve the performance, and reliability of NVIDIA’s next generation products by performing detailed transistor-level analysis on the design.
• Drive the design and physical implementation of digital and/or mixed-signal analog circuit IPs for voltage and noise sensing using custom and automated tools.
• Create prototypes of patentable ideas on test chips and drive them to be deployed across the entire line of products.
• Be a mentor/technical lead for junior team members.

What we need to see:

• BSEE (or equivalent experience);MS preferred in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 8+ years of experience
• Good understanding of deep submicron process issues and digital circuit design techniques
• Familiarity/experience with analog and mixed-signal block design such as op-amp, comparator, ADC etc.
• Hands on experience running Spice simulations, EM/IR analysis, and static timing analysis/closure
• Experience with spice simulation for noise analysis, loop stability analysis, ac/dc/transient analysis, monte-carlo, etc

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Hands on experience in design and analysis of digital and mixed-signal voltage sensors is a plus
• Exposure to flash ADC design is a plus
• Experience with RTL, logic synthesis and verification, knowledge of Place and Route, and understanding of Design-for-test (DFT) is a plus.
• Proficiency in scripting language, such as, Perl, Tcl, Make and automation methods/algorithms is a plus.
• Prior leadership experience is a plus.
