About the Role

We are seeking Lead Post-Silicon Validation Engineer within the GPU Engineering Team to help drive development of future GPUs be used in 3D graphics, deep learning, HPC and automotive markets.

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades.

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 opportunities that are hard to solve, that only we can tackle, and that matter to the world. This is our life's work, to amplify human imagination and intelligence!
