What this role is
This role applies advanced AI techniques like large language models and agentic systems to accelerate NVIDIA's actual chip design workflows, from RTL generation through verification and optimization. It suits experienced researchers who want to bridge AI research and production silicon, working closely with internal design teams to measure success by concrete engineering velocity rather than academic output.
