Nvidia Senior Circuit Design Engineer 

United States, California 

782706796

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 experience

• Good understanding of deep submicron process issues and circuit design techniques

• Familiarity/experiencewith analog and mixed-signal block design such as op-amp, comparator, DAC, ADC, etc.

• Experience with spice simulation for noise analysis, loop stability analysis, ac/dc/transient analysis, monte-carlo, etc

• Experience with industry standard design and EDA tools (Cadence Virtuoso, analog circuit simulation tools like HSpice, Spectre, Finesim, 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

• Understanding of digital timing concepts and challenges, 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.
