SeniorVLSICADSoftwareEngineer

NVIDIA is rebuilding the way chips get built, and we’re looking for a senior engineer to help lead that transformation. This is a full-stack platform role on the team responsible for the development environment behind our silicon. You will help define how agentic orchestration and durable execution become first-class parts of the chip-design workflow. We’re looking for someone who has built complex systems before — across backend, frontend, and infrastructure — and is ready to set the technical direction for what comes next. **What You 'll be doing** * Architect and lead full-stack EDA platforms end to end, from data models and backend services to the frontends engineers use every day — while making key technical and build-vs-buy decisions. * Own the infrastructure these platforms run on at scale, including CI/CD, containerization, observability, on-prem compute, and cloud-native Kubernetes environments. * Set engineering standards across the team by leading design reviews, improving reliability and developer experience, and mentoring engineers. * Act as a technical leader across silicon, backend, and design-automation teams, helping turn fragile manual flows into dependable automated systems used by many engineers. **What we need to see** * Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience. * 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong track record of designing, shipping, and operating production systems. * Proven full-stack and infrastructure ownership across multiple layers of the stack — not just isolated feature development. * Strong technical judgment and the ability to make and defend architectural decisions under real-world constraints. * Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction across teams. **Ways to stand out form the crowd** * Experience building developer platforms, EDA/CAD tooling, or infrastructure for hardware or silicon teams, with a working understanding of VLS
