About this job
We are now looking for a motivated Senior Circuit Design Engineer to join our dynamic and growing Power Circuits Solutions Group. If you are looking for a challenging and exciting role in improving the power delivery of our designs and if you are a self-starter and highly motivated individual who loves to collaborate and find solutions to hard technical problems, join us today!
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 which are hard to solve, that only we can pursue, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human inventiveness and intelligence.
What you'll be doing:
As a senior team member, you will collaborate closely with other System/Software Architects, Power Integrity /Packaging experts and Product and Process engineers to understand product challenges and quantify energy efficiency improvements of integrated power delivery solutions.
You will be breaking down complex Systems-on-package into simpler and tractable electrical models to identify and assess feasible solutions, and further translate these into a coherent set of voltage regulator features and specifications.
Investigate innovative solutions addressing packaging, interconnect, physical design, electrical and thermal challenges to provide energy to future products.
What we need to see:
MSEE/MSCE (or equivalent experience), preferably PhD.
8+ years of equivalent experience.
Strong background in analog and mixed signal circuit design.
Strong theoretical as well as practical knowledge of power converters and its various components.
Deep system-level understanding of power delivery solutions for SoCs, including thermal constraints, package and board effects, noise requirements, load modeling, etc.
Experience with architecture, system-level design, and implementation of industry-standard protection schemes: overcurrent, over/under voltage, over temperature etc.
Proficiency in Matlab/Simulink, industry standard silicon EDA tools (Cadence) and circuit simulators (spice, etc.).
Strong interpersonal and organizational skills and the ability & desire to work as a great teammate.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Exposure to lab setup, design for testing and silicon validation experience is a plus.
Proven industry experience bringing designs from concept to high volume production.
NVIDIA is a pioneer in bringing groundbreaking technology to new markets. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working with us. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!
