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!

Over the past two decades, NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself, starting with the groundbreaking invention of the GPU in 1999. This innovation not only fueled the growth of the PC gaming market but also redefined modern computer graphics and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, our advancements in artificial intelligence and deep learning have ignited the era of modern AI, marking the next chapter in computing. At NVIDIA, we are a "learning machine" that evolves by seizing new opportunities and tackling challenges that matter to the world. Our mission is to amplify human inventiveness and intelligence, making a lasting impact on the future.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Develop and 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 hardware security.
  • Collaborate and work closely with cross-functional teams to improve the performance, reliability and security 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 current and voltage sensing, and common Security attacks detection and protection 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 circuit design 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
