As a member of our Mixed-Signal high-speed I/O SerDes group, you'll be working on NVDIA's latest ground breaking technology that enables and accelerates gaming, artificial intelligence, deep learning, and autonomous driving. Your design will be consumed by standard as well as industry-leading proprietary high-speed protocols, and will serve as one of the key IPs in many complex SoC. You'll work closely with analog designers and system architects to independently come up with micro-architecture specification and refine adaptation algorithms. You'll then implement the RTL in SystemVerilog, define test cases that will deeply verify the design and carry out test creations. Next is to define and build constraints for synthesis and drive for timing closure. In addition to RTL design, you'll need to understand the analog schematics and write SystemVerilog models that collects the functionality of those circuits in the most detailed way.

What you'll be doing:

• RTL design of high-speed digital logic and behavioral modeling of analog circuits.

• You will be working with ASIC controller teams to define a unified interface

• Work with Physical design engineers, floor planning, define timing constraints.

• Silicon bringup, build scripts that can be used for debug, QA, characterization and ATE

What we need to see:

• You are pursuing a MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience

• Exposure to Serdes interfaces, high-speed I/O digital design is required.

• Have a deep understanding of Verilog or SystemVerilog, logic design and circuit modeling in RTL for mixed-signal blocks;

• Exposure to custom digital circuit design and adaptation algorithms, such as DFE, CTLE, CDR, and offset cancellation

• Experience with static timing tools (nanotime, primetime) and formal verification tools

• Have a strong background in Perl and Python scripting;

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• If you have a background in computer architecture and deep learning, this is a plus

• Understanding of Serial IO protocols like PCIe and Ethernet

• Knowledge of encoding and error correction.

• Understanding and modeling of Feedback control systems using tools like Matlab & Simulink.
