  • Strong understanding of IP issues in hardware and embedded software, including ownership, licensing structures, and risk allocation.
  • Ability to negotiate and lead high-stakes, complex agreements with suppliers, customers, and ecosystem partners.
  • Excellent communication skills and good judgment with the ability to offer practical, business-forward advice to senior leaders.
  • J.D. from an accredited U.S. law school and a strong academic record, with admission to the bar and in good standing in the jurisdiction of hire.

Responsibilities

  • Support hardware product legal workstreams, including IP development and licensing, product regulatory matters, and other strategic deals and technology transactions.
  • Provide concise, strategic advice to senior leaders on IP, product, and regulatory issues influencing NVIDIA’s roadmap.
  • Draft, review, and negotiate hardware-focused or technology transaction agreements, including strategic supply, licensing, collaboration, and co-development deals.
  • Develop and maintain templates, playbooks, and mentorship for collaborations and inbound IP transactions to enable efficient, scalable deal execution.

Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
