Job description

We are looking for a Signal Integrity & PCB design Engineer! NVIDIA is powering the next wave of AI and accelerated computing, and our PCB technology is a critical enabler of the world's highest-performance systems. Join our SI team to ensure that every board we ship meets the most demanding signal integrity requirements — from early material research through high-volume manufacturing. This position offers the opportunity to have real impact in a multifaceted, technology-focused company impacting product lines ranging from consumer graphics to self-driving cars and the growing field of artificial intelligence. If you love solving complex signal integrity challenges and thrive on bridging the gap between design intent and manufacturing reality, we want to hear from you.

What you'll be doing:

• Lead SI design activities, PCB stackup design, material selection, design guide implementation and post-layout analysis
• System-level signal integrity simulation of PCIE, LPDDR/DDR/GDDR, MIPI, HDMI, USB and other interfaces.
• Analyze and optimize Power delivery network (PDN) on PCBs.
• Work closely with Package and PCB Design teams crafting solutions for system SI/PI performance TDR & VNA measurement for PKG/PCB material characterization and model correlation

What we need to see:

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience) with minimum 2+ years of experience as a SI/PI engineer
• Deep understanding of electromagnetics, transmission line theory and various channel components.
• Experienced with Cadence Allegro PCB designer and Constraints Manager and or other PCB stackup designer tools
• Understanding of impacts of high-volume PCB manufacturing on channel signal integrity
• Experience with SI channel design solutions for industry standard interface like PCIE, DRAM, MIPI, HDMI, USB etc.
• Hands on experience with HFSS, Sigrity, Hspice and/or similar industry standard tools

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience of SI/PI design sign off process at platform level
• Familiarity with PCB fabrication process, understanding of PCB and package material choice impact on SI performance
• Familiarity with high-speed transmitter, receiver design, and various equalization schemes

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 116,000 USD - 189,750 USD for Level 2, and 136,000 USD - 218,500 USD for Level 3. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until October 10, 2026.
