Senior Design Lead jobs at Nvidia in Belgium

As a Chip Design Architect at NVIDIA, you will have the opportunity to work on some of the most cutting-edge technology and help to drive the innovation of our next generation of retimers that will be used by top researchers and engineers around the world. The products you'll develop will be integrated in many leading-edge compute clusters, and supercomputers, and you'll be part of a team with a strong track record of success.

What you will be doing:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including other architecture teams, mixed signal design, link design, logic design, system software, firmware, and hardware teams, to ensure the successful execution of the project.

• Define and track the floorplan, supply specs, power targets, …

• Conduct trade-off analysis for different architecture options, and oversee the implementation of the chosen architecture by the chip design / serdes / FW / HW / SW teams

What we need to see:

• Master and/or PhD of Science in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.

• 8+ years of chip-design architect experience or chip design / design verification experience.

• Deep understanding of how to build and integrate systems with various technology components.

• Can-do attitude and high energy with leadership and excellent interpersonal skills and possess the ability to learn sophisticated concepts in a fast-paced environment.

• Possess strong managerial, problem solving and critical thinking skills.

• Attention to details on design and high focus on design quality.

What you'll be doing:

• Develop and implement high speed interfaces and analog circuits. You will have hands on experience taking innovative integrated circuit designs at data rates of 25Gbps and higher from concept through silicon characterization.

• Help by defining circuit requirements and complete design from schematic, layout, and verification to characterization.

• Conduct schematic design of deep-submicron CMOS technologies using Spectre, Hspice or like.

• Take ownership for the architecture, transistor design and verification using industry standard EDA tools such as Cadence virtuoso.

• Optimize circuit to meet the specifications for system performance.

• Work closely with layout engineers by providing detailed floorplan and guidance for matching and high-speed routings.

• Provide support for post-silicon bring-up and debugging.

What we need to see:

• Master and/or PhD of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related field with strong analog design background (or equivalent experience)

• 8 years analog design experience in industry

• CMOS Analog / Mixed Signal Circuit Design Experience in deep sub-micron process (especially in FINFET)

• Experience with design and verification tools (Cadence's IC design environment, analog circuit simulation tools like Spectre, HSpice, Finesim, XA)

• Experience in crafting test bench environments for component and top level circuit verification

• Behavioral modeling of analog and digital circuits

• Strong debugging and analytical skills

• Analog simulation for noise analysis, loop stability analysis, ac/dc/tran analysis, monte-carlo, etc.

• Strong interpersonal skills and ability & desire to work as a great teammate are huge plus.
