Nvidia Senior Circuit Design Engineer 

United States, California 

170838943

What you'll be doing:

• 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.

• You'll 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.

• Transistor-level circuit design, schematic entry, and layout delivery.

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

• Be a mentor/technical lead for junior team members.

What we need to see:

• 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 is required.

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

• Basic understanding and experience working with layout (drc, lvs) and/or PnR tools is required.

• Hands on experience in design and analysis of low power circuits (power gating, decaps, multi-vt, etc..) is a plus.

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

• Mixed signal circuit design experience is also a plus.

• Proficiency in scripting language, such as, Python, Perl, Tcl, Make, and automation methods/algorithms a certain plus.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Proven ownership and hands-on experience across the entire silicon design flow, from micro-architecture and RTL design to back-end execution, including Custom/Semi-Custom Circuit Design, Synthesis, Auto Place and Route, STA, and PVerf.

• Proven capability in Post-Silicon characterization and debug, ensuring designs meet performance targets in hardware.

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