TL;DR · Senior Mixed Signal Design Engineer

The Senior Mixed Signal Design Engineer joins the mixed-signal design team to build next generation NVLINK. This role involves developing and implementing high speed interfaces and analog circuits, taking innovative integrated circuit designs at data rates of 25Gbps and higher from concept through silicon characterization. Key responsibilities include defining circuit requirements, completing designs from schematic to layout and verification, and providing support for post-silicon bring-up and debugging. The engineer will use deep-submicron CMOS technologies and industry standard EDA tools including Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, Hspice, Finesim, and XA. Required skills include behavioral modeling of analog and digital circuits, noise analysis, loop stability analysis, and monte-carlo simulations. The work focuses on solving complex technical problems for product lines ranging from consumer graphics to self-driving cars and artificial intelligence.

What you'll do

  • Develop and implement high-speed interfaces and analog circuits for next-generation NVLINK.
  • Manage integrated circuit designs from initial concept through silicon characterization at 25Gbps+ data rates.
  • Define circuit requirements and complete full design cycles including schematic, layout, and verification.
  • Conduct schematic design of deep-submicron CMOS technologies using Spectre or Hspice.
  • Own the architecture, transistor design, and verification using Cadence Virtuoso.
  • Optimize circuits to meet specific system performance requirements.
  • Provide detailed floorplans and guidance for matching and high-speed routings to layout engineers.
  • Provide technical support for post-silicon bring-up and debugging.

What we're looking for

  • Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with a strong analog design background (or equivalent experience).
  • At least 2 years of industry experience in CMOS Analog / Mixed Signal Circuit Design.
  • Experience in deep sub-micron process design, specifically with FINFET.
  • Experience with design and verification tools including Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, HSpice, Finesim, and XA.
  • Experience in crafting test bench environments for component and top-level circuit verification.
  • Ability to perform behavioral modeling of analog and digital circuits.
  • Proficiency in analog simulation for noise analysis, loop stability, ac/dc/tran analysis, and Monte-Carlo.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work as a great teammate (preferred).
