Senior Circuit Design Engineer - Power

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA

Senior Circuit Design Engineer focused on power delivery solutions for NVIDIA's designs, involving modeling, analysis, and innovative solutions for SoCs, with a strong background in analog/mixed-signal circuit design and power converters.

What you'd actually do

  1. As a senior team member, you will collaborate closely with other System/Software Architects, Power Integrity /Packaging experts and Product and Process engineers to understand product challenges and quantify energy efficiency improvements of integrated power delivery solutions.
  2. You will be breaking down complex Systems-on-package into simpler and tractable electrical models to identify and assess feasible solutions, and further translate these into a coherent set of voltage regulator features and specifications.
  3. Investigate innovative solutions addressing packaging, interconnect, physical design, electrical and thermal challenges to provide energy to future products.
