SRAM Circuit Design Engineer - New College Grad 2026

NVIDIA has been redefining computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. Today, we're tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing — an era in which our GPUs act as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars. Doing what's never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world's best talent. Come join our diverse team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.

The Digital IP (DIP) group at NVIDIA develops IP for every chip designed at NVIDIA. This group works closely with internal SOC design, silicon testing, and productization teams that turn our IP into products that change the world. One of the roles fulfilled by the DIP group is to develop sophisticated SRAM compilers that are used extensively by our SOC design partners. We are looking to hire a skilled and creative SRAM circuit designer to help achieve these goals in a high-visibility position.

What you'll be doing:

• Embedded SRAM design: Transistor-level circuit design, supervising layout implementation, physical and logical verification, and debug of SRAM macros.
• SRAM compiler development: Envisioning, defining, and coding more efficient ways to automate the simultaneous assembly and validation of multiple unique SRAM macros using NVIDIA's extensive compute resources.
• Advanced development: Exploring the potential of future process nodes and developing techniques to achieve optimal power, performance, and area characteristics.
• Guiding SOC design, silicon test, and productization efforts: Collaborate with SOC design partners to help them achieve their overall performance and cost goals, guide the silicon test and characterization efforts, and working with productization teams to prepare new silicon for the demanding requirements of real-world applications.

What we need to see:

• Master's degree or higher in Electrical Engineer or other related field (or equivalent experience).
• SRAM design experience with a strong background in digital circuit design, layout, and validation on advanced FinFET and nanosheet processes.
• Design experience in single-port, dual-port, or register file SRAM-based macros required, including complex circuits such as self-timed logic and sense-amplifiers.
• Familiarity with Cadence Virtuoso schematic and layout capture tools
• Shown dewlivery of silicon IP into production.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Shown written, verbal, and presentation skills.
• Skills in AI coding and analysis tools such as Codex and Claude Code.
• Silicon testing/debug experience.
