Senior Circuit Design Engineer at NVIDIA
Santa Clara, CA 95050
About the Job
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!
NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities which are hard to solve, that only we can pursue, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human inventiveness and intelligence.
What you’ll be doing:
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
Experience with spice simulation for noise analysis, loop stability analysis, ac/dc/transient analysis, monte-carlo, etc
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Hands on experience in design and analysis of digital and mixed-signal analog current and voltage sensors is a plus
Exposure to security attacks and common detection circuits is a plus
Experience with RTL, logic synthesis and verification, knowledge of Place and Route, and understanding of Design-for-test (DFT) is a plus.
Proficiency in scripting language, such as, Perl, Tcl, Make and automation methods/algorithms is a plus.
Prior leadership experience is a plus.
