What Nvidia Corporation paid sponsored hires in similar roles
701 certified filings for “Engineer Senior Systems Software” (Software Developers) in CA: $173k–$214k, median $190k. Most were filed at wage level IV (82%) — 4 lottery entries, ≈61% projected selection odds for cap-subject employers. Source: US Department of Labor LCA disclosure data (Oct 2025 – Jun 2026).

US H-1B: cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level — Level I gets 1 entry, Level IV gets 4 (DHS projected selection odds ≈15% at Level I to ≈61% at Level IV). Universities and non-profit research employers are cap-exempt. The $100,000 fee for new petitions from abroad is currently blocked by a court order (appeal pending).

About the role

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 “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to seek, that only we can pursue, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence. Make the choice to join us today. 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. • Focus will be on the complete development of CAD layout from symbol creation, floor planning, and detailed component placement, constraints management, with a concept of topology and signal/trace integrity. • You will be responsible for the design releases required generation of artwork files, ODB++, and electronic PCB documentation. • Your designs 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: • B.Sc. in Electronic Engineer degree or equivalent experience. • 5+ years of experience in high-speed design. • Having a detailed knowledge of circuit design and consideration for layout, routing, and timing constraints, DFM, DFA, DFT constraints in volume manufacturing is needed for this role. • Be an authority in using Cadence Allegro PCB design tools. • Have a deep understanding of High-Density Interconnect PCB layout and PCB Signal Integrity. • Knowledge in PCB manufacturing processes for HDI, Standard Thru-Hole, and Back-drilling. • 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: • Experience in crafting PCBs in the 25gbps + range using back-drilling technology. • Designing sophisticated multi-layer HDI PCB's for very dense placement and routing is helpful. NVIDIA is 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. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!
