NVIDIA circuit design engineer job description
NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 fueled the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI - the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to tackle, that only we can pursue, and for that matter to the world. This is our life's work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence.
Are you interested in designing circuits for the next generation of AI chips? Join a team of dedicated engineers developing the custom SRAM circuits that help power these chips. You will have the chance to create novel low power and high performance circuits, and develop in-house design and verification flows for SRAM design that would be used across all NVIDIA products.
What you'll be doing:
Designing best-in-class SRAM circuits on state-of-the-art technology nodes Optimizing circuits for area, performance and power Working with mask designers to craft dense pitch-matched layout Verifying for functionality, robustness and electrical integrity Running flows to streamline design automation, data collection and analysis, and ensure high yielding silicon
What we need to see:
BSEE required/MSEE preferred in Electrical or Computer Engineering with demonstrated experience (or equivalent experience)2+ years of experience in digital circuit or SRAM memory design.Experience with circuit design workflows including:Spice simulation and analysis Power characterization EM/IR analysis Familiarity with scripting languages - Python, Perl, Shell
NVIDIA is widely considered to be the leader of AI computing, and one of the technology world's most desirable employers. We have some of the most brilliant and hardworking people in the world working for us. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you.
NVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer. As we highly value diversity in our current and future employees, we do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status or any other characteristic protected by law.
