Join NVIDIA’s CAD Infrastructure team and be part of something outstanding! We are building a next-generation software platform for semiconductor design, applying innovative graph neural network infrastructure to process graphs at a trillion-edge scale. This is an ambitious endeavor, and we need engineers who thrive in a hands-on environment, ready to contribute to every phase from architecture to implementation. This role will allow you to compose the future of computing and make a lasting impact on the world!

What you'll be doing:

• Architecting highly automated and customizable flows using modular builds and object-oriented techniques.
• Collaborating with architects and designers during active spec development to identify integration gaps and keep workstreams aligned.
• Building event-driven data preprocessing pipelines for large-scale graph data.
• Developing tools and user interfaces in C++ and Python tailored for complex engineering workflows.
• Engaging cross-functionally with VLSI organizations to anticipate future challenges and build solutions.

What we need to see:

• 8+ years of relevant software engineering experience.
• BS or MS in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Practical experience in C++ and Python programming.
• Strong foundations in software building, algorithms, and data structures.
• Proficiency in software architecture: you've built systems, not just contributed to them.
• Strong communication skills and comfort working across fields during an evolving development cycle.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Background in graph-scale data infrastructure or GNN-based systems.
• Exposure to ML or agentic tooling, particularly LLM-based code generation.
• Familiarity with EDA or VLSI build environments.
• Experience exposing software toolchains to AI agents or building developer-facing AI interfaces.
