Developing subject matter expertise and driving team client counseling, invention harvesting, and evaluation for specific IP-active areas.

Collaborating on development and deployment of Patent Department policies, practices, and tools.

What we need to see:

A technical undergraduate degree (or equivalent experience), preferably a CE or Computer Science degree.
6+ years of experience in patent preparation and prosecution.
A J.D. degree with a record of strong academic performance and a license to practice law in California.
Registration to practice before the US Patent and Trademark Office.
Outstanding interpersonal skills: written and verbal, organizational abilities, and attested attention to detail.
Ability to navigate and break down complex legal issues into actionable advice covering a broad range of interdependent issues, balance risk with business need, and ask tough questions.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Previous in-house experience in a high-tech industry with portfolio management and technology licensing.
Experience drafting and prosecuting patent applications to issuance in: generative and applied artificial intelligence frameworks and deep learning model architectures, software engineering, chip or circuit design, advanced computing and networking technologies, and autonomous robotics and vehicles.
A passion for innovation, technology, strategic thinking, and continuous learning.
Foreign filing experience.
Strong understanding of open source software and database licenses.

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 and if you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!
