Job description

NVIDIA Software Engineer

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 are hard to tackle, 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!

Our team is responsible for development and support of infrastructure tools used by design engineers for build and verification of architectural, rtl, and gate level designs. As a software engineer, you will craft highly efficient software to automate and facilitate chip design and verification processes.

What You'll be Doing:

  • Work as a team to build reliable, scalable and high performance software that are easy to use by hundreds of engineers worldwide.
  • Develop software tools in C++/Golang to analyze and construct chip designs described in C++, Verilog or domain-specific languages (DSLs).
  • Research and develop software solutions to allow greater efficiency in architecture, hardware and software teams.
  • Optimize the daily workflows of the world's top chip modelers and designers.

What We Need to See:

  • BS (or equivalent experience) and 5+ years of software development experience., MS (or PHD) preferred.
  • Experienced with C++ or Golang, Unix/Linux.
  • Solid understanding of algorithms, computer architecture and computer science theory
  • Experienced with VLSI frontend design and verification
  • Flexibility/adaptability for working in a global and dynamic environment with different frameworks and requirements

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Good architecture and RTL design knowledge
  • Strong expertise in modern C++, compiler, build systems, and database.
  • Experienced with static and dynamic code analysis tools

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 152,000 USD - 241,500 USD for Level 3, and 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until July 11, 2026.

NVIDIA is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
