NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology—and amazing people. Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 fueled 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 pursue, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence. We are looking for a Senior Mixed-Signal/Analog/IO Circuit Develop Engineer – someone who is excited to join a rapidly growing team of creative circuit develop engineers pushing frontiers of the high-speed DRAM SerDes solutions.

What you'll be doing:

  • Mixed-Signal/Analog circuit design for High-Speed Memory I/O Interfaces

  • Solve challenges of circuit designs in the latest CMOS FinFET processes

  • Take designs through productization and be actively involved in all stages of development

  • Work with multi-functional teams to optimize the design

  • Contribute to the architecture definition and development of next-generation and future memory systems and interfaces

What we need to see:

  • MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience

  • The candidate has 4+ years of well-rounded high-Speed DRAM (LPDDR5/6, DDR4/5, GDDR5/6/7, HBM3/4) or other SerDes interface related design experience.

  • In-depth understanding of deep submicron CMOS FinFET process and related circuit design issues

  • Familiarity with device reliability, ESD, and Latch-Up requirements

  • Possess an understanding of system-level timing budgets, specs, and analysis

  • Solid Understanding of the package substrate, board develop, and power delivery is a plus.

  • Strong background of Cadence custom develop tools, various circuit simulators like Hspice, XA, FineSim, Spectre

  • Knowledge of Verilog, Nanotime, Matlab, or similar tools is a plus

  • Hands-on experience of silicon debug with Lab test and measurement equipment is a plus
