Nvidia Senior Analog Mixed Signal Engineer 

United States, California 

356624370

What you’ll be doing:

• You will work as part of a team to design and implement high speed interfaces and complex mixed-signal circuits using state-of-the-art sub-micron CMOS technologies and various EDA tools:

• High speed analog and hybrid Phase Locked loops and associated subblocks including VCO, charge-pump, dividers, state machines, LDO, bandgap, TDC, interpolator circuits, high speed buffers etc.

• Design of data converters (analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters). Contribute to architecture development and transistor level circuit design of associated blocks like comparators, digital state machines, high performance op-amps etc.

• Work closely with mask design engineers to deliver the physical design as well as work with characterization groups for silicon evaluation.

• Help support technology transfer to product development teams.

• Your other responsibilities will include architecture studies, circuit designs & simulations, floor-planning, instructing mask designers, reliability verifications and silicon bring-up.

• If you have a strong ability to learn and explore new technologies and able to demonstrate good analysis and analytical skills, this is the ideal position for you.

What we need to see:

• BSEE or equivalent experience (MS preferred)

• 6+ years of industry experience in deep-submicron CMOS technologies. Analytical and intuitive understanding of transistor level analog design, layout and simulation is required.

• Hands-on design experience in performance analog and hybrid Phase Locked Loops, analog-to-digital (ADC), digital-to-analog (DAC) data converter. Experience in all types of analog subcells is considered, VCO, LDO, bandgap, chargepump, opamps, interpolator circuits. Have experience in deep sub-micron process.

• Experience with the following is a plus: digital PLL, TDC or DSP and control theory experience related to digital PLLs.

• Have good experience with simulation tools such as spectre, hspice, AFS, and MATLAB, System Verilog, Python. You are proficient with Cadence custom circuit design tools like ADE-L and ADE-XL.

• You have understanding and experience in running Monte-Carlo, noise simulations and stability analysis.

• Capable of understanding DRC and LVS results with verification tools (Calibre, ICV, or like)

• Proficient in scripting languages like Perl, Python, matlab etc. is a plus.

• Ability to work effectively in a team, with good interpersonal skills, enthusiasm and positive energy.
