Nvidia Plans Triple-Size Beersheba R&D Center Hiring Hundreds in Israel

Nvidia is significantly expanding its research and development presence in Beersheba, Israel, by tripling its office space to a new 3,000-square-meter facility at the Gav-Yam High-Tech Park, scheduled to be fully operational by mid-2026. This expansion includes plans to hire hundreds of additional employees, including chip developers, hardware and software engineers, and university graduates, reflecting Nvidia's commitment to tapping into talent "wherever they are." The Beersheba site will become Nvidia's southernmost R&D center in Israel, complementing its existing hubs in Yokneam, Tel Aviv, Ra'anana, and other locations, and will focus on developing advanced AI hardware and software technologies crucial for global AI innovation. Nvidia's workforce in Israel has more than doubled since its 2020 acquisition of Mellanox, now employing over 5,000 people, making it one of the country's largest private tech employers. The company also plans a massive new campus in northern Israel, indicating a broader strategy of deepening its roots across the country. Notably, the decision to expand in Beersheba was made prior to recent regional conflicts and aims to leverage the growing innovation ecosystem around Ben-Gurion University and the Negev region's tech community.
