SRAM Circuit Design Engineer - New College Grad 2026 - CA, Santa Clara, United States
$116,000 - $218,500 USD yearly
Originally posted 13 October 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves developing sophisticated SRAM compilers and designing embedded SRAMs at the transistor level for all chips designed at NVIDIA.
What you'll do
- Perform transistor-level circuit design, layout supervision, physical and logical verification, and debug of SRAM macros.
- Develop efficient automation for assembling and validating multiple SRAM macros.
- Explore future process nodes and develop techniques for optimal power, performance, and area characteristics.
- Collaborate with SOC design partners to achieve performance and cost goals.
- Guide silicon test and characterization efforts.
- Work with productization teams to prepare new silicon for real-world applications.
What you'll need
- Master's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- SRAM design experience with a strong background in digital circuit design, layout, and validation on advanced FinFET and nanosheet processes.
- Design experience in single-port, dual-port, or register file SRAM-based macros, including complex circuits such as self-timed logic and sense-amplifiers.
- Familiarity with Cadence Virtuoso schematic and layout capture tools.
- Demonstrated delivery of silicon IP into production.
Skills: SRAM Circuit Design, transistor-level circuit design, SRAM macros, FinFET and nanosheet processes, sense-amplifiers
