Nvidia Seems To Be Poaching Ex-Intel Employees

According to a report by Globes, at least thirty Intel workers, including seasoned workers with over ten or twenty years of experience, are expected to join NVIDIA’s Yokneam and Tel Aviv locations in 2024.

These workers include chip design software developers, hardware architecture specialists, power managers, and core processor development engineers. That said, the compensation packages for workers who switched from Intel to NVIDIA have also increased.

Data from the levels.fyi website indicates that junior hardware engineers at NVIDIA start with 566,000 new shekels (roughly $152,000) annually, or $12,600 per month. This is 33% more than Intel’s average starting salary.

Stock options are the most significant distinction. In contrast to NVIDIA, which offers an annual stock option package valued at $15,000, Intel hardware engineers receive a package of $5,200 annually.

According to the data, the majority of former Intel workers who joined NVIDIA this year did so in recent months, with a substantial spike in departures this month. Other former Intel workers in Israel have gone on to work for other large tech firms, such as Apple, Amazon, and Intel subsidiary Mobileye.

A smaller percentage have switched to Google, Microsoft, and Huawei, a Chinese business with a development centre near Haifa, according to the research.
