Senior Digital Circuit Design Engineer

Details

We are now hiring for a Senior Logic and Digital Circuit Design Engineer!

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 take on, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence. Make the choice to join us today.

As a member of our Mixed-Signal high-speed I/O SerDes group, you will be working on NVIDIA's latest groundbreaking technology that enables and accelerates gaming, artificial intelligence, deep learning, and autonomous driving. Your design will be consumed by standard as well as industry-leading proprietary high-speed protocols and will serve as one of the key IPs in many complex SoCs. You will work closely with analog designers and system architects to independently come up with micro-architecture specification and refine adaptation algorithms. You will then implement the RTL in SystemVerilog, define test cases that will deeply verify the design, and carry out test creations. Next is to define and build constraints for synthesis and drive for timing closure. In addition to RTL design, you will need to understand the analog schematics and write SystemVerilog models that collect the functionality of those circuits in the most precise way.

Responsibilities

• You will be working with ASIC controller teams to define a unified interface.
• Help in streamlining workflows with proper scripts to increase efficiency and enable reusability.
• Be actively involved in silicon bring-up, build scripts that can be used for debug, QA, characterization, and ATE.

Requirements

• You should have a B.S. or MS degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of experience working in high-speed I/O digital design, knowledge at protocol level (SATA, PCIE, USB) preferred.
• Have a deep understanding of Verilog or SystemVerilog, logic design, and circuit modeling in RTL for mixed-signal blocks; experience with industry standard verification methodologies, such as UVM.
• Proven experience with custom digital circuit design and adaptation algorithms, such as DFE, CTLE, CDR, and offset cancellation.
• Experience with static timing tools (nanotime, primetime) and formal verification tools.
• Have a strong background in Perl and Python scripting; if you have a background in computer architecture and deep learning, this is a plus.

Benefits

• The base salary range is 128,000 USD - 304,750 USD. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.
• You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
• NVIDIA accepts applications on an ongoing basis.
• NVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
