You're a PhD candidate or equivalent, with a strong background in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering, or a related field, and a track record of research or significant product development. **What makes it worth a look...** This full-time, on-site Research Scientist role at NVIDIA, located in Santa Clara, CA or Durham, NC, offers a compelling annual salary range of $168,000 to $264,500. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Are pursuing a PhD or have equivalent experience in EE, CS/CE, or a related field. * Possess excellent knowledge of circuit design theory and practice, with depth in high-performance circuits like PLLs, SerDes, photonics, or SRAMs. * Have a strong publication, patent, or research collaboration history. * Can explore and design circuit approaches to optimize processor computation and interconnect performance and power.
We are now looking for a Research Scientist for Circuits. Advanced circuit design is critically important in the post-Moore’s Law age. Without the ability to scale process to increase performance and reduce power, we must rely more and more on creative architectural and underlying circuit solutions to provide continuing advancement from generation to generation.
NVIDIA Research is seeking world-class circuit researchers to contribute to the exploration of future high-performance, low-power circuit technologies and development of prototype circuits. If you have a strong circuits background, desire to collaborate with elite researchers on critical problems, and a vision about how to advance the state-of-the-art, the team will be a great fit for you. NVIDIA has an ambitious circuit research agenda that involves taking circuit technology to the next level. This position offers an opportunity to have a real impact in a fast-moving technology-focused company.
