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 pursue, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence.

We are looking for a signal and power integrity (SI/PI) Engineer – someone who is excited to join a growing group of diverse individuals responsible for chip package and PCB design analysis to achieve high-speed mixed-signal circuit design challenge, such as DP2.1, PCI-Express Gen6, and even 100GbE or beyond.
