About the job
NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked 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 solve, that only we can tackle, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence. Make the choice and join us today!
This is a dynamic team working with pioneering, unique technology. If you are someone that loves a challenge, come join this diverse team and help move the needle! We are looking for a senior engineer to be part of the mixed-signal design team building next generation NVLINK. This position offers the opportunity to have real impact in a dynamic, technology-focused company impacting product lines ranging from consumer graphics to self-driving cars and the growing field of artificial intelligence.
What you'll be doing:
Develop and implement high speed electrical/optical interfaces and analog circuits. You will have hands on experience taking innovative integrated circuit designs at data rates of 25Gbps and higher from concept through silicon characterization.
Help by defining circuit requirements and complete design from schematic, layout, and verification to characterization.
Conduct schematic design of deep-submicron CMOS technologies using Spectre, Hspice or like.
Lead architecture, transistor design and verification using industry standard EDA tools such as Cadence virtuoso.
Optimize circuit to meet the specifications for system performance.
