Achieving that distinction involves extensive design optimization, including combining the best of EDA with highly sophisticated, large scale internal CAD tools. Our team develops these tools by fusing advances in parallel computing, machine learning, and VLSI hardware design. We are seeking an innovative Senior Software Developer, VLSI Physical Design with particular interest in algorithms for floorplanning, macro placement, global routing, and related physical design optimization. This position broadly spans all levels of development from computational geometry to graph optimization and visualization. Constant creativity and a self-drive to explore and perfect high performance and high capacity software is required. If you like to work across many technical areas and see your successes directly realized in the world's fastest AI hardware, this is it! NVIDIA's engineering environment offers an ideal combination of supercomputing infrastructure and vast R&D resources, so you can explore colossal ideas as a world-class leader, plus the nimbleness and opportunity to grow in a rapidly developing company. Check online for yourself -- NVIDIA employees love working here for good reason! What You’ll Be Doing Invent and optimize new methods for floorplanning and chip-level optimization tools. Improve designer insight and visualization by extending GUIs built on ImGui and/or OpenGL. Develop machine learning strategies to improve efficiency of design space exploration. As with any software engineering team, we do write a lot of code, but this is broader than a typical CAD or EDA role.
