Circuit Design Engineer - New College Grad 2026

About the role

NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. 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. We are now hiring a Circuit Design Engineer for Standard Cell Characterization to join our rapidly growing research and development for Inference.

What You Will Be Doing

• Work on cutting edge processor design in deep submicron technologies, and on standard cell library design and characterization
• Drive concepts of transistor level circuit design, modeling and performance analysis process
• Support and development of tools using Perl/Python
• Develop creative new insights to support existing tools and flows and develop new simulations to perform timing/power/noise/OCV evaluations
• Collaborate with cross function teams with regards to library issues
• Improve quality checks on the library work

What We Need To See

• Recently graduated with a MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering or equivalent experience
• Background in deep submicron process issues
• Understanding of the design, verification and characterization of standard cell libraries, generating timing/power/noise/OCV views of the standard cells, validation of data and QA process
• Familiar with Liberty models and its application to digital implementation and signoff flows
• Experience running SPICE simulation, and capability to adapt to new simulation tools
• Proficiency in scripting language, such as Perl, Tcl, Make, and automation methods/algorithms (a certain plus)
• Excellent team-work, communication and analytical skills
• Ability to learn quickly, hard-working, and results-oriented
• Past standard cell library or IP characterization experience is a plus
