AI in this role

NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology—and amazing people. Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.

Interposers are one of the most technically demanding layers in advanced semiconductor packaging — a silicon bridge connecting multiple dies with thousands of micro-bumps, routing signals at densities that push the limits of current EDA. NVIDIA's interposer designs are among the most complex in the industry, and the team building automation infrastructure for them is a small group of high-impact engineers who define how that design process works. This position requires you to build flows and methodologies that automates interposer design, validates design rules, and accelerates the workflows of the interposer designers who depend on them. You'll work directly with interposer design engineers, package architects, and foundry partners to understand and solve the hardest problems and ship production-quality solutions that shape NVIDIA's next generation of multi-die platforms.

What you'll be doing:

Work with world-class interposer engineers to design and develop VLSI flows and methodologies for interposer design.
Develop applications to enable project engineers with an emphasis on maintainability and ease of use.
Develop flows/tools and methodologies to construct, analyze, and validate interposer designs at many different stages in the production flow.
Optimize the daily workflows of the world's top interposer designers.

What we need to see:

BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience), and 8 years of flow and methodology development experience building flows for interposer design used by engineering teams at scale.
Good programming fundamentals in Python and/or C++, including proficiency with data structures, algorithms, object-oriented design, and code quality practices.
Demonstrated experience applying AI/ML techniques in engineering workflows — this could include using LLMs for code generation and debugging, building ML-assisted design analysis tools, or integrating AI-assisted flows into EDA environments.
Strong understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals relevant to VLSI interposer design (signal integrity, power delivery, parasitic extraction, or equivalent).

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Good understanding of VLSI package design along with interposer and IC physical design.
Strong expertise in developing interposer design flows and methodologies.
