## Description

We're seeking a Senior Circuit Design Engineer to join our team. You'll participate in groundbreaking processor design in deep submicron technologies, working on innovative circuits for hardware security, adaptive clocking, and power management solutions.

Responsibilities:

- Participate in ground-breaking processor design in deep submicron technologies.

- Work as part of a global circuits team to design innovative circuits for hardware security, adaptive clocking, and power management solutions.

- Drive the design and physical implementation of custom digital IPs from RTL to layout using industry-standard tools and custom design flows.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve the power, performance, area, and reliability of Nvidia's next-generation products through custom circuit solutions and detailed transistor-level analysis.

- Develop prototypes of patentable ideas on test chips and drive them to be deployed across the entire line of products.

- Perform transistor-level circuit design, schematic entry, and layout delivery.

- Integrate AI/ML techniques directly into the design process and methodology.

- Mentor and provide technical leadership to junior team members.

Requirements:

- BSEE/MS preferred in Electrical, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.

- 6+ years of digital circuit design experience for Masters and 8+ years for Bachelors.

- Excellent understanding of deep submicron process issues and digital circuit design techniques.

- Hands-on experience running Spice simulations, EM/IR analysis, and static timing analysis/closure.

- Basic understanding and experience working with layout (DRC, LVS) and/or PnR tools.

- Experience with RTL, logic synthesis, and verification is a plus.

- Mixed-signal circuit design experience is also a plus.

- Proficiency in scripting languages, such as Python, Perl, Tcl, Make, and automation methods/algorithms.

Nice to Have:

- Proven ownership and hands-on experience across the entire silicon design flow, from micro-architecture and RTL design to back-end execution.

- Proven capability in Post-Silicon characterization and debug.

- Track record of independently driving and delivering complex features from conception through tape-out and validation.

We offer competitive salaries and a generous benefits package. The base salary range is $168,000 - $264,500 for Level 4 and $196,000 - $310,500 for Level 5.
