Job description

NVIDIA is seeking PhD Research Interns for its Circuits team to explore advanced circuit design in the post-Moore’s Law era. The role focuses on developing high-performance, low-power circuit technologies and collaborating with elite researchers. Interns will have the opportunity to make a significant impact in a fast-paced technology environment. Candidates with a strong circuits background and a passion for innovation will find this position rewarding.

Requirements

  • Pursuing a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience in power delivery research with a focus on novel digital and analog control architectures.
  • Excellent knowledge and broad background in circuit design theory and practice.
  • Depth in high-performance circuit design areas such as PLLs, SerDes, photonics, SRAMs, and security circuits.
  • A track record of research excellence or significant product development.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Responsibilities

  • Explore circuit approaches to optimize processor computation and interconnect performance and power.
  • Design and implement circuit approaches in prototype systems.
  • Collaborate with other researchers and internal product teams across research and product roles.
  • Transfer technology to product groups.

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.
