Base pay ranges from US$144,000 to US$414,000 annually. But getting through the selection process is not easy. Many vacancies have a doctorate as a prerequisite, and the company requires that some candidates know several programming languages. According to Nvidia, candidates must be interested in “contributing to an agile environment and creating a platform for others to do their life’s work.”
