Senior Circuit Design Engineer - Noise

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

Senior Circuit Design Engineer focused on improving netlist and timing quality, designing innovative circuits for silicon correlation and noise mitigation, and performing transistor-level analysis for NVIDIA's next-generation products. Requires BSEE/MS with 8+ years of experience in deep submicron process issues, digital circuit design, and analog/mixed-signal block design, with hands-on experience in Spice simulations, EM/IR analysis, and static timing analysis.

What you'd actually do

  1. 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 noise mitigation.
  3. Collaborate and work closely with cross-functional teams to improve the performance, and reliability 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 voltage and noise sensing 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.
