We are now hiring for a Senior Circuit Design Engineer for Standard Cell and/or ROM.
NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 30 years. It’s an unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology—and amazing people. NVIDIA's invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked 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 — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, we are increasingly known as “the AI computing company”. We are looking to grow our company and teams with the smartest people in the world. We're rapidly growing our research and development for Inference. We specialize in developing GPU-accelerated Deep Learning software. Researchers around the world are using NVIDIA GPUs to power a revolution in Deep Learning and enabling breakthroughs in numerous areas.
