Mask Layout Design Engineer - New College Graduate 2026

Mask Layout Designers, NCG

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a "learning machine" that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to tackle, that only we can pursue, and for that matter to the world. This is our life's work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence.

Are you interested in designing circuits for the next generation of AI chips? Join a team of dedicated engineers developing custom digital IPs. You will have the chance to learn novel low-power and high-performance circuits and you will showcase your layout design talent at the latest and smallest process node at the earliest time. We are now looking for Mask Layout Designers, NCG. If someone who desires to join a dynamic group of diverse individuals responsible for dealing with high-speed digital IP layouts, do not miss this opportunity.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Physical layout of STD cells, ROMs, and compiled RAMs on each most advanced foundry processes with earlier and unstable design environments.
• Work closely with NVIDIA talents to speed up layout production including customized DRC/LVS, and plenty of specific verification development, testing, and debug.

What We Need To See:

• Pursuing MS or PH.D. in MS Microelectronics, Semiconductor Physics or related field.
• You are familiar with Cadence Virtuoso, you're familiar with Siemens Calibre or Synopsis ICV, or similar design and verification tools.
• Experience working across teams and dealing the tasks in parallel.
• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and analytical skills to decompose complex issues and present them clearly and simply.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:

• Knowledge of and experience with advanced FinFET/GAA processes
• Prior design experience involving Standard Cells and/or Memory structures
• Good English written, verbal, and presentation skills
• Scripting ability in SKILL and/or Perl
