## Description

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Circuit Design Engineer to join its Circuit Solutions Group. You will design custom circuit IP and help bring novel designs to life on test chips, from simulation through post-silicon characterization and debug.

**Responsibilities:**

- Design custom circuit IP from architecture and schematic development through layout support and silicon validation.

- Simulate and optimize circuit performance across process, voltage, temperature, variation, and post-layout effects.

- Define test plans and measurement capabilities for test chip IP.

- Own post-silicon bringup and characterization of novel circuit designs on test chips.

- Debug silicon issues, correlate measurements with simulation, and drive design improvements.

- Collaborate with layout, verification, test, and product teams, and develop automation for simulation and data analysis.

**Requirements:**

- MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)

- 5+ years of experience in transistor-level circuit design and validation.

- Strong understanding of digital, or mixed-signal circuit design, synthesis, and timing.

- Hands-on experience with post-silicon bringup, lab measurements, and circuit debug.

- Ability to analyze silicon data and communicate findings clearly across teams.

- Proficiency with scripting or data analysis tools such as Python, Perl, or Tcl.

**Nice to Have:**

- Experience bringing up and characterizing custom IP on test chips.

- Experience with voltage regulation, hardware security, or silicon monitor circuits.

- Familiarity with ATE testing, test modes, and bench instrumentation.

- Experience with statistical variation analysis and silicon-to-simulation correlation.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 168,000 USD - 264,500 USD for Level 4, and 196,000 USD - 310,500 USD for Level 5. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
