Senior Mixed Signal Design Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Mixed Signal Design Engineer to lead the design of CMOS high-speed interface circuits and mixed-signal circuits. The role involves hands-on experience in silicon validation, debugging, characterization, and bring-up, as well as leading design and implementation of high-speed transceivers and high frequency PLLs. The engineer will also supervise IC circuit/mask designers and support lab characterization.

What you'd actually do

  1. Lead design and implementation of high speed interface circuit
  2. Design projects include high speed transceivers and high frequency PLLs
  3. Design, simulation, and verification of mixed-signal circuits
  4. Supervise closely IC circuit/mask designers, provide floorplan and layout guidelines
  5. Support lab characterization of silicon
