NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. 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 — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, we are increasingly known as “the AI computing company”. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. Are you a creative and autonomous architect with a genuine passion for advancing innovative security features into silicon? If so, we want to hear from you.
