Physical Design Engineer - New College Grad 2026
About The Position
We are now looking for a Physical Design Engineer! NVIDIA has continuously pioneered and reinvented itself over two decades through various avenues of computing: Graphics, High Performance Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Research, and more. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked 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 opportunities that are hard to tackle, that only we can solve, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human creativity, intelligence, and technology. Today, visual computing is becoming increasingly central to how people interact with technology, and there has never been a more exciting time to join our team. We are looking for a Physical Design Engineer who will be responsible for all aspects of physical design and implementation of Graphics processors, integrated chipsets, and other ASICs targeted at the desktop, laptop, workstation, set-top box and home networking markets.
