PhD Research Intern, Circuits - 2027

About the role

NVIDIA Research is seeking world‑class circuit researchers to explore future high‑performance, low‑power circuit technologies and develop prototype circuits. This PhD Research Intern position on the Circuits team focuses on advancing circuit design in the post‑Moore’s Law era, where creative architectural and circuit solutions are essential for continued performance improvements.

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 at least one 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 applications with low failure rate
• Excellent knowledge and broad background in theory and practice of circuit design.
• Depth in one or more high‑performance circuit design areas (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.
