Senior Mixed Signal Design Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Mixed Signal Design Engineer to develop and implement high-speed interfaces and analog circuits for next-generation NVLINK. The role involves hands-on experience from concept to silicon characterization, including schematic design, layout, verification, and post-silicon support. Requires a Master's/PhD in Electrical/Computer Engineering with a strong analog design background and experience in deep sub-micron CMOS technologies.

What you'd actually do

  1. Develop and implement high speed interfaces and analog circuits. You will have hands on experience taking innovative integrated circuit designs at data rates of 25Gbps and higher from concept through silicon characterization.
  2. Help by defining circuit requirements and complete design from schematic, layout, and verification to characterization.
  3. Conduct schematic design of deep-submicron CMOS technologies using Spectre, Hspice or like.
  4. Take ownership for the architecture, transistor design and verification using industry standard EDA tools such as Cadence virtuoso.
  5. Optimize circuit to meet the specifications for system performance.
  6. Work closely with layout engineers by providing detailed floorplan and guidance for matching and high-speed routings.
  7. Provide support for post-silicon bring-up and debugging.

Skills

Required
