Senior Circuit Design Engineer - Power

NVIDIA•Santa Clara, CA

10d•$168,000 - $310,500•Hybrid

About The Position

NVIDIA is seeking a motivated Senior Circuit Design Engineer to join its growing Power Circuits Solutions Group. The role focuses on improving power delivery in NVIDIA designs and developing integrated power delivery solutions that improve energy efficiency. As a senior team member, you will work with System and Software Architects, Power Integrity and Packaging experts, and Product and Process engineers to understand product challenges and quantify potential energy-efficiency improvements. You will decompose complex systems-on-package into tractable electrical models, assess feasible solutions, and translate them into voltage-regulator features and specifications. You will also investigate solutions to packaging, interconnect, physical-design, electrical, and thermal challenges in delivering power to future products. The role offers a base salary range of $168,000–$264,500 for Level 4 or $196,000–$310,500 for Level 5, depending on location, experience, and other objective job-related factors. The position is also eligible for equity and benefits. This is an existing vacancy, and applications will be accepted at least until November 3, 2026.

Requirements

MSEE/MSCE or equivalent experience; a PhD is preferred.
At least 8 years of equivalent experience.
Strong background in analog and mixed-signal circuit design.
Strong theoretical and practical knowledge of power converters and their components.
Deep system-level understanding of SoC power delivery solutions, including thermal constraints, package and board effects, noise requirements, and load modeling.
Experience with architecture, system-level design, and implementation of industry-standard protection schemes, such as overcurrent, overvoltage/undervoltage, and overtemperature protection.
Proficiency in Matlab/Simulink, industry-standard silicon EDA tools such as Cadence, and circuit simulators such as SPICE.
Strong interpersonal and organizational skills, and the ability and desire to work effectively as a teammate.

Nice To Haves

Exposure to laboratory setup and design for testing.
Silicon validation experience.
Proven industry experience bringing designs from concept to high-volume production.

Responsibilities

Collaborate with System and Software Architects, Power Integrity and Packaging experts, and Product and Process engineers to understand product challenges and quantify energy-efficiency improvements of integrated power delivery solutions.
Break down complex systems-on-package into tractable electrical models to identify and assess feasible solutions.
Translate assessed solutions into a coherent set of voltage-regulator features and specifications.
Investigate solutions to packaging, interconnect, physical-design, electrical, and thermal challenges involved in powering future products.
