·FY 2025Job description
NVIDIA is seeking a skilled engineer to join the mixed-signal high-speed I/O group, focusing on frontend development of high-speed DSPs and silicon photonics IPs. The role involves collaboration with analog designers and system architects to define micro-architecture specifications and develop calibration algorithms. Candidates will also engage in backend design, ensuring timing closure and evaluating PPA trade-offs. This position offers the opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology that enhances wireline communication.
Requirements
- B.S. or M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of experience in high-speed digital design, proficient with front-end design flow and tools.
- Deep understanding of Verilog or System Verilog, logic design concepts, and typical structures.
- Good understanding of design for test, timing constraints, and static timing analysis.
- Experience with industry verification methodologies, such as UVM.
Responsibilities
- Work on a wide range of high-speed, powerful DSPs, silicon photonics IPs, and chips.
- Participate in chip-level features, programming model and application interface definitions.
- Collaborate closely with analog designers and system architects to develop micro-architecture specifications.
- Define, build synthesis constraints and drive timing closure for backend design.
- Evaluate PPA trade-offs based on synthesis and P&R feedbacks.
- Actively participate in silicon bring-up and build testing scripts for debugging and characterization.
- Work with cross-functional teams to ensure successful production.
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. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
