Signal and Power Integrity Engineer

NVIDIA•Austin, TX

7d•$116,000 - $218,500

About The Position

NVIDIA is seeking a Signal and Power Integrity Engineer to develop signal integrity solutions for complex system design problems. The role involves modeling and optimizing system components, performing system-level simulations of high-speed interfaces, and improving signal-integrity models using lab measurements and modeling updates. The engineer will create and review substrate and board-layout signal-integrity guidelines, perform post-layout extractions, and automate simulation data gathering, analysis, and visualization. This is a cross-functional role focused on optimizing packages, PCBs, ASICs, and mixed-signal circuits. The position is part of NVIDIA, a technology company focused on computing, GPUs, and AI. The expected base salary is $116,000–$189,750 for Level 2 or $136,000–$218,500 for Level 3, depending on location, experience, and other objective job-related factors. The role is also eligible for equity and benefits. Applications will be accepted at least until November 3, 2026. This posting is for an existing vacancy.

Requirements

Master’s and/or Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
At least 2 years of work experience.
Familiarity with signal- and power-integrity concepts, design, and analysis.
Exposure to channel signal-integrity time-domain simulations.
Hands-on experience with 3D modeling tools such as ANSYS HFSS/Q3D, 2.5D tools such as ANSYS SIwave or similar, and 2D tools such as Ansys2D.
Familiarity with VNA, TDR, DSO, and ParBERT instruments, and tools or applications such as ADS, Ansys Designer, JMP, MATLAB, and Cadence Allegro.
Scripting skills for data post-processing, tool development, and/or process automation.

Nice To Haves

Strong technical background in applied electromagnetics, waveguides, transmission-line theory, and signal processing.
Exposure to board and package technology and design.
Understanding of circuit equalization techniques.
Exposure to power-delivery-network evaluation using layout-extraction tools for packages and PCBs, and SPICE-based time-domain simulations.
Knowledge of programming languages, especially Python.

Responsibilities

Develop creative signal-integrity solutions to complex system design problems.
Model and optimize vias, connectors, sockets, breakouts, and other system components using 3D electromagnetic tools.
Perform system-level signal-integrity simulations for high-speed interfaces, including NVLink 200 Gbps+, USB-4, PCIe 5, GDDR6, and LP5X.
Improve signal-integrity models using lab-measurement data and updates to modeling tools or methodologies.
Create and review substrate and board-layout signal-integrity guidelines, and perform post-layout signal-integrity extractions.
Automate simulations and perform data gathering, analysis, and visualization using JMP, MATLAB, or similar tools.
Work cross-functionally to optimize packages, PCBs, ASICs, and mixed-signal circuits.
