Senior Circuit Design Engineer - Power Modeling and Simulation

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

Senior Circuit Design Engineer focused on Power Modeling and Simulation for processor designs, involving analog and digital circuit modeling, power delivery networks, and system-level simulations. Requires 6+ years of experience with simulation tools and EDA, with a strong preference for experience with complex PDNs for CPUs/GPUs.

What you'd actually do

  1. Participate in innovative Processor design in deep submicron technologies.
  2. Work as part of a global circuits team to design innovative power delivery and power management solutions.
  3. You'll model and simulate analog and digital circuits and systems in a variety of environments with different degrees of abstraction and complexity.
  4. Model and simulate power delivery networks (PDN) from die level all the way to platform level.
  5. Perform detailed block-level and system-level simulations to ensure good reliability, performance, and stability of the designs.
