Job Title

PCB Design Engineer - New College Grad 2027

Role Summary

Entry-level PCB Design Engineer on NVIDIA's PCB Physical Design team responsible for developing printed circuit board and interconnect solutions for GPUs, AI servers, and networking platforms.

You will work with cross-functional engineering teams to translate system architecture into manufacturable hardware, gain hands-on experience through mentorship and training, and contribute to high-performance, high-reliability products.

Experience Level

Entry-level - new college graduate / pursuing a recent degree (New College Grad 2027 target).

Responsibilities

Key day-to-day responsibilities include:

• Design high-performance PCBs and interconnects that meet electrical, thermal, mechanical, and cost constraints.
• Translate system and silicon architecture into manufacturable hardware layouts and stackups.
• Work on complex designs with multi-thousand-pin processors, high-bandwidth memory, multi-hundred-gigabit links, and high-power delivery systems.
• Collaborate with silicon, packaging, signal integrity, power integrity, thermal, and manufacturing teams to resolve design trade-offs.
• Perform analysis and validation to ensure signal integrity, power integrity, and manufacturability.
• Contribute to design-for-manufacturing and scalability efforts for global production.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and attributes:

• Strong foundation in circuit theory, electronic systems, and hardware design fundamentals.
• Understanding of power delivery architectures, voltage regulation, and DC-DC converter fundamentals.
• Knowledge of signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), and high-speed digital design concepts.
• Strong analytical problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Effective verbal and written communication; ability to collaborate across disciplines.
• Enthusiasm for technology and continuous learning.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with PCB or system design projects from coursework, internships, research, or personal projects.
• Familiarity with ECAD tools such as Cadence Allegro or similar platforms.
• Experience with SI/PI simulation tools (Sigrity, ADS, HFSS, or equivalent).
• Knowledge of PCB manufacturing processes, advanced packaging, or Design-for-X (DFX) practices.

Education Requirements

Pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor's (or equivalent) degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical field. (Role is targeted at new college graduates, class of 2027.)
