  • Knowledge of fundamental digital design and logic design concepts.

Responsibilities

  • Develop behavioral models and verification for custom mixed signal design cells used in NVIDIA products.
  • Use Verilog, SystemVerilog, Perl, or Python to model, verify, and prototype mixed-signal designs.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams regarding library build, cell integration, ASIC verification, and DFT simulation.
  • Document, implement, and deliver fully verified and high-performance RTL to achieve design targets.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts.
