Job description

The Senior Circuit Design Engineer role at NVIDIA focuses on developing standard cell libraries and custom ROM modules using deep submicron technologies. This position is part of a team that drives innovation in GPU-accelerated deep learning software. The engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance design quality and performance. This role requires a strong background in circuit design and verification, as well as hands-on experience with simulation tools.

Requirements

  • MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years of experience in circuit design
  • Strong background in deep submicron process issues
  • Deep understanding of standard cell libraries and custom ROMs design and verification
  • Hands-on experience running SPICE simulation and adapting to new simulation tools
  • Experience with EM/IR, aging, noise, margin, and high sigma variation simulations
  • Experience working with mask designers on layouts and DRC/LVS debug
  • Experience designing flip flops, level shifters, math cells, custom ROMs, register files, and SRAM
  • Strong proficiency in scripting languages such as Perl, Tcl, and Make

Responsibilities

  • Work on cutting edge standard cell libraries and custom ROM modules in deep submicron technologies
  • Drive the transistor level standard cell circuit design, modeling, and performance analysis process
  • Lead the function and feasibility verification of new ROM designs and setup of new design flows
  • Provide creative insights to support existing tools and develop new simulations for design margin evaluations
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify standard cell design improvement opportunities

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.
