This platform turns intent, layered configuration, generated files, tool execution, distributed jobs, validation checks, and shared project state into observable, repeatable workflows.\nThis role is for a systems-minded engineer who may not have prior chip-design or CAD-flow experience, but has strong fundamentals in Linux, automation, configuration systems, scripting, and production infrastructure. You will work alongside senior platform and flow architects to evolve existing Tcl, Make, Perl, Python, YAML, and job-launch infrastructure into a clearer control-plane platform for complex engineering workflows.\nWhat You'll Be Doing:\nBuild and maintain workflow-platform features across YAML configuration, generated artifacts, Make targets, Perl/Python utilities, Tcl checks, and structured output files\nHelp model workflow stages, inputs, outputs, validation signals, generated files, dependencies, status, and ownership in configuration and manifests\nCreate machine-readable check results, run manifests, provenance records, log summaries, and status outputs that make behavior easier to inspect and debug\nStrengthen early-failure checks for missing files, stale generated data, invalid configuration, bad environment setup, scheduler issues, and incomplete run state\nAdd and test integrations with distributed job execution, shared compute, filesystem state, data-fidelity tracking, and dependency tracing\nWork with senior engineers and users to reproduce failures, trace configuration behavior, improve diagnostics, update documentation, and preserve existing workflows\nWhat We Need To See:\nB.S. or M.S. in CS, EE, CE, or equivalent experience\n4+ years building automation, developer infrastructure, workflow platforms, distributed systems, test infrastructure, or engineering productivity tools\nStrong Linux fundamentals, including shell debugging, environment setup, filesystem behavior, process execution, logs, exit codes, and background jobs\nPractical programming experience in Python, Perl, Go, C++, or similar, and comfortable reading and modifying Make, YAML, JSON, and shell-based infrastructure\nAbility to reason carefully about configuration layers, generated files, schemas, validation rules, compatibility, and incremental migration of legacy systems\nStrong debugging habits, clear written communication, and experience improving production infrastructure without destabilizing active users\nWays To Stand Out From The Crowd:\nExposure to semiconductor design or EDA workflows, especially RTL, synthesis, place-and-route, timing, signoff, ECO, or handoff flows\nBackground with workflow engines, build systems, CI/CD platforms, job schedulers, deployment automation, data pipelines, or large-scale engineering automation\nExperience improving legacy Make, Perl, shell, Python, or Tcl systems while preserving existing behavior\nExperience creating structured logs, JSON/YAML schemas, validation frameworks, provenance tracking, dashboards, or observability tools\nBackground with shared filesystems, partial writes, stale state, locking, reproducibility, generated artifacts, batch jobs, tests, migrations, documentation, or debug tooling\n\nWith competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, we are widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us and, due to unprecedented growth, our exclusive engineering teams are rapidly growing. If you're a creative and autonomous engineer with a real passion for technology, we want to hear from you.\nYour base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 152,000 USD - 241,500 USD for Level 3, and 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4.\nYou will also be eligible for equity and benefits.\nApplications for this job will be accepted at least until July 13, 2026.\nThis posting is for an existing vacancy.\nNVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.\nNVIDIA is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
