We are looking for a senior engineer to be part of the mixed-signal design team building next generation NVLINK. This position offers the opportunity to have real impact in a dynamic, technology-focused company impacting product lines ranging from consumer graphics to self-driving cars and the growing field of artificial intelligence.

You will be responsible for the development and implementation of high speed interfaces, including TX/RX/Clocking/PLL. You will have hands on experience taking innovative integrated circuit designs at data rates of 50Gbps and higher from concept through silicon characterization.

What you will be doing:

  • Define circuit requirements and complete design from schematic, layout, and verification to characterization.

  • Conduct schematic design of deep-submicron CMOS technologies using Spectre, Hspice or like.

  • Take responsibility for the architecture, transistor design and verification using industry standard EDA tools such as Cadence virtuoso.

  • Optimize circuit to meet the specifications for system performance.

  • Work with layout engineers by providing detailed floorplan and guidance for matching and high-speed routings.

  • Provide support for post-silicon bring-up and debugging.

What we need to see:

  • Master of Science or foreign equivalent degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related field with strong analog design background.

  • 3+ years analog design experience in industry.

  • CMOS Analog / Mixed Signal Circuit Design Experience in deep sub-micron process (especially in FINFET); Experience with design and verification tools (Cadence's IC design environment, analog circuit simulation tools like Spectre, HSpice, Finesim, XA)

  • Experience in crafting test bench environments for component and top level circuit verification; Behavioral modeling of analog and digital circuits.

  • Strong debugging and analytical skills; Analog simulation for noise analysis, loop stability analysis, ac/dc/tran analysis, monte-carlo, etc.

  • Strong communication skills and ability & desire to work as a great teammate are huge plus.

Adapt your resume

  • List these exact terms on your resume: Mixed Signal Design, Cmos, Circuit Design, Layout Verification, and Silicon Characterization. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
  • Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
