Senior Mixed Signal Design Engineer
NVIDIAJob Title
Senior Mixed Signal Design Engineer
Role Summary
This role is on a mixed-signal design team responsible for next-generation high-speed interface technology (NVLINK). The engineer will design, verify, and characterize high-speed analog and mixed-signal circuits from schematic through silicon bring-up.
Work spans schematic design, transistor-level architecture, verification, layout collaboration, and post-silicon debugging for products across graphics, autonomous systems, and AI infrastructure.
Experience Level
Senior — typically 11+ years of industry analog/mixed-signal design experience (as stated in the posting).
Responsibilities
Primary duties include circuit design, verification, and supporting silicon bring-up for high-speed interfaces.
- Develop and implement high-speed interfaces and analog circuits operating at 25 Gbps and above.
- Define circuit requirements and deliver full designs from schematic to layout and verification.
- Perform schematic and transistor-level design in deep-submicron CMOS processes.
- Own architecture, transistor design and verification using industry EDA tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso).
- Optimize circuits to meet system performance specifications through simulation and analysis.
- Work closely with layout engineers to provide floorplans and guidance for matching and high-speed routing.
- Support post-silicon bring-up and debugging activities.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience.
- 11+ years of analog design experience in industry.
- Experience with CMOS analog / mixed-signal circuit design in deep-submicron processes, including FINFET.
- Proficiency with analog design and verification tools (Cadence IC design environment, Spectre, HSpice, Finesim, XA, or similar).
- Experience creating testbench environments for component and top-level verification.
- Behavioral modeling of analog and digital circuits.
- Analog simulation skills: noise analysis, loop stability, AC/DC/transient analysis, Monte Carlo, etc.
- Strong debugging and analytical skills; ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional engineers.
Education Requirements
Master's and/or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field preferred; equivalent practical experience is acceptable (posting specifies "Master and/or PhD ... or equivalent experience").
