Role summary
NVIDIA is seeking a Mixed Signal Design Engineer for their New College Grad 2026 program, focusing on next-generation NVLINK technology. This role involves developing and implementing high-speed interfaces and analog circuits, from concept to silicon characterization. Responsibilities include defining circuit requirements, schematic design, layout guidance, verification, and post-silicon bring-up. The ideal candidate will have a Master's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with a strong analog design background, experience in deep sub-micron CMOS technologies (especially FinFET), and proficiency with industry-standard EDA and simulation tools.
This is a dynamic team working with state of the art, unique technology. If you are someone that loves a challenge, come join this diverse team and help move the needle! 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.
What you'll be doing:
- Develop and implement high speed interfaces and analog circuits. You will have hands on experience taking innovative integrated circuit designs at data rates of 25Gbps and higher from concept through silicon characterization.
- Help by defining 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 ownership 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 closely 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:
- Hold a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related field with strong analog design background (or equivalent experience)
- Prior analog design experience
- 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 interpersonal skills and ability & desire to work as a great teammate are huge plus.
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until October 2, 2026.This posting is for an existing vacancy.
