INTRODUCTION
We are now looking for a motivated Circuit Design Engineer to join our dynamic and growing team. If you are looking for a challenging and exciting role in improving the netlist and timing quality of our designs and if you are a self-starter and highly motivated individual who loves to collaborate and find solutions to hard technical problems, join us today! Over the past two decades, NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself, starting with the groundbreaking invention of the GPU in 1999. This innovation not only fueled the growth of the PC gaming market but also redefined modern computer graphics and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, our advancements in artificial intelligence and deep learning have ignited the era of modern AI, marking the next chapter in computing. At NVIDIA, we are a "learning machine" that evolves by seizing new opportunities and tackling challenges that matter to the world. Our mission is to amplify human inventiveness and intelligence, making a lasting impact on the future.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
What You’ll Be Doing
- Develop and participate in cutting edge Processor design in deep submicron technologies.
- Work as part of a global circuits team to design innovative circuits (digital, semi-custom and mixed-signal analog) for silicon correlation and hardware security.
- Collaborate and work closely with cross-functional teams to improve the performance, reliability and security of Nvidia’s next generation products by performing detailed transistor-level analysis on the design.
- Drive the design and physical implementation of digital and/or mixed-signal analog circuit IPs for current and voltage sensing, and common Security attacks detection and protection using custom and automated tools.
- Create prototypes of patentable ideas on test chips and drive them to be deployed across the entire line of products.
- Be a mentor/technical lead for junior team members.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience).
- Good understanding of deep submicron process issues and digital circuit design techniques.
- Familiarity/experience with analog and mixed-signal block design such as op-amp, comparator, ADC etc.
- Hands on experience running Spice simulations, EM/IR analysis, and static timing analysis/closure.
- Experience with spice simulation for noise analysis, loop stability analysis, ac/dc/transient analysis, monte-carlo, etc.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Hands-on experience in design and analysis of digital and mixed-signal analog current and voltage sensors is a plus.
- Exposure to security attacks and common detection circuits.
- Experience with RTL, logic synthesis and verification, knowledge of Place and Route, and understanding of Design-for-test (DFT).
- Strong experience in scripting language, such as, Perl, Tcl, Make and automation methods/algorithms.
- Prior leadership experience.
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 116,000 USD - 189,750 USD for Level 2, and 136,000 USD - 218,500 USD for Level 3. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

Entry Level Circuit Design Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level circuit design engineer job?
Employers hiring at the entry level look for hands-on evidence of circuit design skills, even from coursework or personal projects. A portfolio showing schematic capture, PCB layout, or simulation work in tools like Altium, KiCad, or SPICE gives you a concrete edge. Internship experience, senior design projects, and familiarity with signal integrity or analog design fundamentals are also strong differentiators at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level circuit design engineers?
Companies hiring entry level circuit design engineers right now include Nokia, NVIDIA, and Onyx, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring covers established electronics manufacturers, defense contractors, semiconductor firms, and hardware startups that build engineering teams from the ground up.
Are there remote entry level circuit design engineer jobs?
Yes, though most circuit design roles require some on-site access to lab equipment and hardware prototypes. About 17% of entry level circuit design engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, so hybrid arrangements are more common than fully remote positions at this stage.
Are these new grad circuit design engineer jobs?
Yes, the listings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior circuit design engineer roles. A new grad friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internship or academic project work in place of professional history, and does not require prior industry credentials, making a strong portfolio the most important thing you can bring to the application.
Which industries hire the most entry level circuit design engineers?
Entry Level circuit design engineer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Electronics & Hardware, and Telecommunications, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors drive hiring at the entry level because they invest heavily in new hardware development and routinely build out junior engineering teams to support product design cycles.
