This is our life’s work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence.

What you'll be doing:

• Develop and deploy in-house tools and workflows to support engineering business units across NVIDIA.
• Take ownership of tools that verify common design blocks used in all products at NVIDIA.

• Build new workflows and methodologies to ensure smooth integration into various IP development environments.

What we need to see:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience).
