Senior Silicon Architect, System Software GPU​/DPU

About the team

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two 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 "visual computing company" with strong positions in professional visualization, data centers, and automotive markets.
