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 with a global circuits team to design innovative circuits for hardware security, adaptive clocking, and power management solutions.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Driving the design and physical implementation of custom digital IPs from RTL to layout using industry-standard tools and custom design flows
  • Collaborating 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
  • Developing prototypes of patentable ideas on test chips and driving them to be deployed across the entire line of products
  • Transistor-level circuit design, schematic entry, and layout delivery
  • Integrating AI/ML techniques directly into the design process and methodology
  • Mentoring and providing technical leadership to junior team members

To be successful in this role, you'll need:

  • A BSEE/MS in Electrical, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience
  • 3+ years of digital circuit design experience for Masters or 5+ 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

We offer competitive salaries ranging from $136,000 to $264,500 per year, depending on location, experience, and level, as well as a generous benefits package.
