TL;DR

Join our dynamic team as a Senior Circuit Design Engineer where you will drive the development of cutting-edge processor designs in deep submicron technologies. You’ll collaborate with global circuits teams to design innovative digital, semi-custom, and mixed-signal analog circuits for silicon correlation and hardware security, enhancing performance, reliability, and security across NVIDIA’s next-generation products. Key responsibilities include detailed transistor-level analysis, physical implementation of circuit IPs, and mentoring junior team members. Ideal candidates have a BSEE or equivalent with 8+ years of experience in digital and mixed-signal block design, proficiency in Spice simulations, EM/IR analysis, and static timing closure, along with familiarity with security attacks and detection circuits. Additional skills like RTL logic synthesis, DFT knowledge, and scripting languages such as Perl, Tcl, and Make are highly valued.
