Senior C++ Software Engineer - Chip Design Tools

Details

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 fueled the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new challenges that only we can pursue, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence. Make the choice to join us today!

Chip Modeling and Packaging CAD team is responsible for development and support of infrastructure tools for build and verification of architectural, rtl, and gate level designs. Our tools enable our chip design teams to work on state-of-art design technologies such as CoWoS-L.
