Senior Circuit Design Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA +1 · Remote

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Circuit Design Engineer to join their team, focusing on improving netlist and timing quality for processor designs. The role involves developing innovative digital, semi-custom, and mixed-signal analog circuits for silicon correlation and hardware security, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and creating prototypes. Requires BSEE or equivalent with 8+ years of circuit design experience, understanding of deep submicron processes, and hands-on simulation experience.

What you'd actually do

  1. Develop and participate in cutting edge Processor design in deep submicron technologies.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Create prototypes of patentable ideas on test chips and drive them to be deployed across the entire line of products.
