About the role
Senior Circuit Design Engineer at NVIDIA focused on ground breaking processor design in deep submicron technologies, with emphasis on hardware security, adaptive clocking, power management, and custom digital IPs from RTL to layout. Mentors junior engineers and collaborates across cross-functional teams to optimize power, performance, area, and reliability of next-generation products.
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.
- 3+ years of digital circuit design experience for Masters or 5+ years for Bachelors.
- Excellent understanding of deep submicron process issues and digital circuit design techniques is required.
- Hands on experience running Spice simulations, EM/IR analysis, and static timing analysis/closure is required.
- Basic understanding and experience working with layout (drc, lvs) and/or PnR tools is required.
- 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 plus.
- Proficiency in scripting language, such as, Python, Perl, Tcl, Make, and automation methods/algorithms a certain plus.
