TL;DR · Senior AI Solutions Architect, Semiconductors

The Senior Solutions Architect role within NVIDIA’s Semiconductor team involves serving as a technical advisor to EDA/CAD developers and customer engineering teams, embedding accelerated computing, computational lithography (cuLitho), and AI into semiconductor design, verification, and manufacturing workflows. This position requires collaborating with Business Development and Sales teams to drive ecosystem success across chip-design houses, EDA software vendors, equipment makers, and fabs. Key responsibilities include accelerating EDA workflows using GPU technology, applying ML/DL to semiconductor manufacturing processes, analyzing application architectures for acceleration opportunities, and delivering technical training and demonstrations. The ideal candidate holds an MS/PhD in a relevant field with extensive experience in semiconductor design or manufacturing, proficiency in Python/C++, familiarity with AI frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow, and expertise in GPU-accelerated computing platforms such as CUDA and Kubernetes.

What you'll do

  • Support Business Development teams by embedding NVIDIA technologies into semiconductor workflows.
  • Work directly with EDA/CAD developers to GPU-accelerate design and verification processes.
  • Apply machine learning techniques to improve defect detection and yield optimization in manufacturing.
  • Analyze application architectures to identify opportunities for performance acceleration using GPUs.
  • Deliver technical training sessions on NVIDIA solutions and platforms for customer teams.

What we're looking for

  • MS/PhD in Electrical or Computer Engineering, Materials Science, Applied Physics, Computational Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 4+ years in semiconductor design, EDA, or manufacturing with AI/ML application experience.
  • Familiarity with EDA flows and tools like Cadence, Synopsys, Siemens EDA, computational lithography, TCAD, inspection/metrology systems.
  • Experience programming algorithms using Python/C/C++ for GPU-accelerated compute-intensive workloads.
  • Development experience with major AI frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow) for manufacturing use cases.
  • Familiarity with accelerated computing platforms, GPU-based distributed systems, and HPC clusters.
