NVIDIA 2027 Internships: Digital Circuit Design
Role Summary
12-week, full-time internship within NVIDIA's hardware teams focused on digital circuit and transistor-level design. Interns work on defined projects that contribute measurable results to product or research efforts.
Work includes circuit design, simulation, characterization, and collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams.
Experience Level
Entry-level internship for university students (0–3 years experience). Intended for candidates currently enrolled in a degree program.
Responsibilities
Typical responsibilities during the internship include:
- Design and implement digital circuits and datapath components (flip-flops, level shifters, math cells, register files, etc.).
- Perform transistor-level design, timing and delay analysis, and power/leakage optimization.
- Create and run circuit simulations (SPICE/HSPICE), Monte Carlo analyses, and characterize results.
- Use EDA tools for place-and-route, synthesis, and verification; assist with standard cell and memory/array design (SRAM).
- Develop or use RTL/HDL code (Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL) and automation scripts (Python, Perl) to support design flows.
- Collaborate with engineers to integrate blocks, debug issues, and document design decisions and test results.
Requirements
Minimum technical skills and practical abilities expected:
- Understanding of digital circuit concepts: timing, standard-cell design, memory arrays, power distribution and management.
- Experience with RTL/HDL (Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL) and familiarity with EDA tool flows (Cadence, Synopsys or similar).
- Practical experience with circuit simulation and characterization (SPICE/HSPICE) and running Monte Carlo analyses.
- Familiarity with CMOS/FinFET technology and transistor-level circuit behavior.
- Scripting or programming ability (Python, Perl or similar) to automate flows and data analysis.
- Ability to work full time for the duration of the 12-week internship and to communicate results clearly to engineering teams.
Education Requirements
Must be actively enrolled and pursuing a B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field for the full duration of the internship. Anticipated graduation month and year must be clearly indicated on the resume or CV to be considered.
