Senior Mixed Signal and Analog Circuit Designer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Hsinchu, Taiwan +1

Senior Mixed-Signal / Analog Circuit Designer to develop high-speed chip interfaces and complex analog functions for GPUs and SoCs. Responsibilities include designing circuits in deep sub-micron CMOS, working with layout engineers, and supporting debug and production.

What you'd actually do

  1. You will be part of an analog team developing high-speed chip interfaces and complex analog functions that enable our graphics processing units (GPU) and SoC products (Tegra)
  2. Design state-of-the-art mixed-signal circuits in deep sub-micron CMOS technologies.
  3. Work closely with physical/layout engineers to floorplan and implement physical design of these functions.
  4. Support debug, characterization and support product through high-volume production.
  5. If you have the dream to learn and explore new technologies and have good analytical skills, this is the ideal position for you.
