Senior Analog and Mixed Signal Engineer

About the role

Join our global circuits team at NVIDIA that designs state-of-the-art GPUs for applications such as supercomputers, gaming consoles, and self-driving cars. Our team focuses on the architecture and design of CMOS high-speed chip interfaces and complex analog functions.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement high-speed interfaces and complex mixed-signal circuits using state-of-the-art sub-micron CMOS technologies and various EDA tools, including:
  • High-speed analog and hybrid Phase Locked Loops (PLLs) and associated subblocks (VCO, charge-pump, dividers, state machines, LDO, bandgap, TDC, interpolator circuits, high-speed buffers).
  • Data converters (analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters).
  • Architecture development and transistor-level circuit design of associated blocks (comparators, digital state machines, high-performance op-amps).
• Work closely with mask design engineers to deliver physical design and collaborate with characterization groups for silicon evaluation.
• Support technology transfer to product development teams.
• Conduct architecture studies, circuit designs and simulations, floor-planning, instruct mask designers, perform reliability verifications, and assist in silicon bring-up.

Requirements

• BSEE or equivalent experience (MS preferred).
• 6+ years of industry experience in deep-submicron CMOS technologies.
• Analytical and intuitive understanding of transistor-level analog design, layout, and simulation.
• Hands-on design experience in performance analog and hybrid Phase Locked Loops, analog-to-digital (ADC), and digital-to-analog (DAC) data converters.
• Experience with analog subcells such as VCO, LDO, bandgap, charge pump, op-amps, and interpolator circuits.
• Experience in deep sub-micron processes.

Skills

• Proficiency with simulation tools such as Spectre, HSPICE, AFS, MATLAB, SystemVerilog, and Python.
• Experience with Cadence custom circuit design tools like ADE-L and ADE-XL.
• Understanding and experience running Monte-Carlo, noise simulations, and stability analysis.
• Capability to interpret DRC and LVS results using verification tools (Calibre, ICV, or similar).
• Scripting proficiency in Perl, Python, or MATLAB is a plus.
• Experience with digital PLL, TDC, or DSP and control theory related to digital PLLs is a plus.
• Strong ability to learn and explore new technologies, with good analytical skills.
• Effective teamwork, interpersonal skills, enthusiasm, and positive energy.
