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.

What You'll be Doing:

  • Working closely with product design engineers, you'll perform PCB layout of high speed/high-density value conscious PCBs for all business units at NVIDIA (GPU Desktop, Notebook, Automotive, Professional, Data Center, Deep Learning and AI), all using Cadence PCB design tools Allegro 23.1 and Capture.

  • Your focus will be on the complete development of PCB layout, floor planning and detailed component placement, constraint management, with a concept of topology and signal/trace integrity.

  • The designs you create will need to follow SI constraints, EMI/RFI control and FCC, UL and European regulations, IPC specifications and NRC regulations.

What We Need to See:

  • Hold a B.S.E.E or Computer Sciences degree (or equivalent experience) with at least 12 plus years industry experience. If you have experience in high-speed PCB design, this is a plus.

  • Knowledge of PCB design and consideration for layout, routing, and timing constraints, DFM, DFA, and DFT constraints in volume manufacturing is helpful.

  • You should have an understanding of High-Density Interconnect PCB layout and PCB Signal Integrity.

  • Proven ability to work with a team while taking personal responsibility for your own contributions

  • Agility in changing focus as the needs of our effort evolve

  • Strong leadership, communication, and presentation abilities

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • If you have experience in designing PCB's in the 25gbps + range using back-drilling technology. Also ,building complex multi-layer HDI PCB's for very dense placement and routing is helpful.

  • Having knowledge with Cadence Allegro PCB design tool is useful.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
