PhD Research Intern, Circuits - 2027

About the role

Advanced circuit design is critically important in the post‑Moore’s Law age. NVIDIA Research is seeking world‑class circuit researchers to explore future high‑performance, low‑power circuit technologies and develop prototype circuits. The position offers the opportunity to have a real impact in a fast‑moving, technology‑focused company.

Responsibilities

• Explore circuit approaches to optimizing processor computation and interconnect performance and power.
• Design and implement circuit approaches in prototype systems.
• Collaborate with other researchers and a diverse set of internal product teams across research and product roles.
• Transfer technology to product groups.

Requirements

• Pursuing a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering, or a related field.
• Research experience in power delivery with focus on one or more of the following: novel digital and analog control architectures for fast transient response of power converters; EMI analysis and mitigation techniques; power‑supply design and analysis for low‑failure‑rate applications.
• Excellent knowledge and broad background of theory and practice of circuit design.
• Depth in one or more areas of high‑performance circuit design (e.g., PLLs and clocking, SerDes and high‑speed signaling, photonics, SRAMs, power delivery/regulation, security circuits, high‑speed logic).
• Track record of research excellence or significant product development.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
