Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a talented individual to join their team focused on AI-driven software systems for circuit design. The role involves working on projects related to hardware design data, circuit optimization, and AI systems for design automation. The ideal candidate will collaborate within a multi-functional team to translate requirements into data science and AI/ML solutions. This position offers the opportunity to make a significant impact in the field of electronic design automation.

Requirements

  • MS/PhD in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or equivalent experience.
  • 4+ years of experience in circuit design, VLSI, ASIC, EDA, silicon analysis, or custom circuit design.
  • Prior experience in Applied Math/ML/Software programming with proven ability in writing code in Python and C++.
  • Experience with deep learning algorithms, AI agent frameworks, and tools such as PyTorch, LangChain, or LangGraph is a definite plus.

Responsibilities

  • Work within a multi-functional team on projects involving pre-silicon and post-silicon hardware design data.
  • Translate requirements into data science, AI/ML, and agentic system problems and architect solutions.
  • Test and release models and AI systems that integrate with existing machine learning and design automation tools.
  • Analyze datasets, validate hypotheses, extract relevant features, and build models and self-improving workflows.
  • Optimize models, algorithms, and autonomous optimization systems until they reach the desired quality of results.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. 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.
