Senior Mixed Signal Design Engineer
NVIDIAJob Title
Senior Mixed Signal Design Engineer
Role Summary
Design and deliver high-speed SerDes circuits (targeting 80Gbps and above) in advanced FinFET and deep-submicron CMOS processes. Own the transistor-level design flow from architecture and schematic through layout, verification, silicon bring-up, and characterization while working closely with layout and system teams.
Base salary range: $168,000–$264,500 (Level 4) or $196,000–$310,500 (Level 5). Eligible for equity and company benefits.
Experience Level
Senior — typically requires 5+ years of professional analog build experience, with demonstrated leadership on transistor-level designs and post-silicon validation.
Responsibilities
Accountable for end-to-end high-speed SerDes development and cross-functional coordination.
- Own SerDes architecture and transistor-level circuit design from concept to silicon.
- Develop schematics, guide layout, and perform verification using industry-standard tools.
- Optimize circuits for noise, power, timing, and loop stability in deep-submicron FinFET nodes.
- Provide floorplanning and high-speed routing guidance to layout engineers to preserve signal integrity.
- Lead post-silicon bring-up, debugging, characterization, and iterate designs based on measured data.
- Create and validate analog and mixed-signal models to support top-level verification and timing closure.
- Collaborate across teams and communicate technical trade-offs clearly to drive delivery.
Requirements
Key technical requirements and tools.
- Minimum 5+ years of professional analog build experience, with significant FinFET and deep-submicron CMOS background.
- Proficiency in Cadence Virtuoso and strong experience with simulation tools such as Spectre, HSpice, FineSim, or XA.
- Expertise in noise analysis, Monte Carlo techniques, and control-loop stability for high-speed designs.
- Practical experience in high-speed data and/or clock path design.
- Proven ability to model analog and digital circuits for timing and functional verification.
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work collaboratively across engineering teams.
Education Requirements
MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical industry experience.
