[nclug-jobs] Jobs at NVIDIA

[Stephen Warren]

NVIDIA is hiring for a wide variety of jobs. One such example, within my 
team, is detailed below.

I work in the Linux graphics team, which covers both desktop GPUs (x86 
Linux) and now parts of our Tegra Linux (ARM system-on-chip) support.

Feel free to come and talk to me about NVIDIA at NCLUG, hacking society, 
etc.

In general though, we are hiring for a large number of positions across 
the board; see http://careers.nvidia.com/. Note that most of the jobs 
are listed as being in Santa Clara (our main office), but I think in 
general that's simply because that's our head office, and hence the 
default location. We maintain a variety of field offices throughout the 
US, including one in Fort Collins, and I believe one in Boulder.

I've been told that the best way to apply is to read through the list on 
the website, and apply online for perhaps 2-4 jobs specific to your 
interests. You can list me as referring you if you feel generous. If I 
know you, I can then fill in HR on your background etc.
