The NVIDIA Infrastructure Group is seeking world-class programmers to design, implement, and debug the next generation of large-scale, general-purpose graphics and computing chips. In this role, you will help build the core verification infrastructure that drives the development of our GPU and Tegra chips.

This strongly object-oriented C and Python infrastructure encompasses several extensive applications that allow us to efficiently verify the world's largest chips with a sophisticated distributed computing execution and triage environment. Come and join our diverse, international, fast-paced team with high production-quality standards.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Developing environments to program and test next-generation GPU and SoC features well before they are integrated into products or supported by driver software. Every day brings new and meaningful challenges.
  • Collaborating with colleagues across architecture, hardware, and software teams to unlock the functionality and performance of next-generation NVIDIA chips.
  • Participating in the full chip development lifecycle—from architectural specification through release to production.

What We Need To See

  • BS or MS (or equivalent experience) in CS, CE, EE, or a related field.
  • 5 working year experience and strong proficiency in C programming.
  • Familiarity with compute architecture, OS design, or driver development (a strong plus).
  • Python programming experience (a plus).
  • Excellent communication skills.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 152,000 USD - 241,500 USD for Level 3, and 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until April 19, 2026.
