Senior DFX Power Methodology Engineer

NVIDIA•Us, CA

About The Position

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. 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 solve, that only we can address, 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. Design-for-X Engineering at NVIDIA works on groundbreaking innovations involving crafting creative solutions in AI for Chip Design and AI for Predictions in various use cases in manufacturing testing on some of the industry's most complex semiconductor chips.
