Senior Signal and Power Integrity Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA

Senior Signal and Power Integrity Engineer at NVIDIA, focusing on power delivery networks for high-performance AI systems, graphic cards, and Tegra systems. Requires MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, 4+ years of experience, and expertise in electromagnetics, transmission line theory, and signal processing. Familiarity with power integrity simulations and modeling tools is essential.

What you'd actually do

  1. Work on crafting creative Signal and Power Integrity solutions to complex system design problems.
  2. System-level power integrity simulations of high-performance AI systems, graphic cards, and Tegra systems.
  3. Work closely with VLSI power teams and package/board design teams to design, optimize, and model power delivery networks (PDN) including dies, packages, boards, and voltage regulators.
  4. Package and board PDN guidelines creation, review, and post layout PI extractions.
  5. Opportunity to work in a dynamic cross-functional role to optimize package, PCB, ASIC, mixed signal circuit.
