About the role

Senior circuit design engineer role focusing on ground-breaking processor design in deep submicron technologies, with emphasis on digital IP design, power and performance optimization, and integration of AI/ML into the design process.

Responsibilities

  • Participate in ground breaking processor design in deep submicron technologies.
  • Work as part of a global circuits team to design innovative circuits for hardware security, adaptive clocking, and power management solutions.
  • Drive the design and physical implementation of custom digital IPs from RTL to layout using industry standard tools and custom design flows.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve the power, performance, area and reliability of Nvidia’s next generation products through custom circuit solutions and detailed transistor-level analysis.
  • Develop prototypes of patentable ideas on test chips and drive them to be deployed across the entire line of products.
  • Transistor-level circuit design, schematic entry, and layout delivery.
  • Integrate AI/ML techniques directly into the design process and methodology.
  • Be a mentor/technical lead for junior team members.

Qualifications

  • BSEE/MS preferred in Electrical, Computer Engineering or equivalent experience.
  • 6+ years of digital circuit design experience for Masters and 8+ years for Bachelors.
  • Excellent understanding of deep submicron process issues and digital circuit design techniques.
  • Hands on experience running Spice simulations, EM/IR analysis, and static timing analysis/closure.
  • Basic understanding and experience working with layout (drc, lvs) and/or PnR tools.
  • Hands on experience in design and analysis of low power circuits (power gating, decaps, multi-vt, etc..) is a plus.
  • Experience with RTL, logic synthesis and verification is a plus.
  • Mixed signal circuit design experience is also a add-on.
  • Proficiency in scripting language such as Python, Perl, Tcl, Make, and automation methods/algorithms is a plus.
