In this role, you will work with internal customers and cross-functional teams to take new architectural features from concept through POR, implementation, and post-silicon enablement.\nNVIDIA is developing processor and system architectures that are at the forefront of accelerating machine learning and high-performance computing applications. We are building the most advanced SoCs in the world for these applications and are looking for SoC architects to join our effort. In this position, you will have the chance to define future aspects of our architectures that bring together NVIDIA GPUs, custom processors and accelerators into a single chip. Your role will be cross-disciplinary, working with software, ASIC design, verification, physical design, VLSI and platform teams. Our SoC architects excel at pushing the state of the art, while making the best engineering trade-offs.\nWhat you’ll be doing:\nHardware architecture end-to-end lifecycle ownership\nDrive Architecture/Software/Hardware co-design and collaboration on features set\nDrive the development of predictive and adaptive hardware for improved performance and power\nPerform performance, perf @ watt, perf / sq. mm modeling or analysis and track through design (where applicable)\nHardware specification authoring, review, and architectural model development (where applicable)\nArchitectural validation plan and execution\nReview downstream specifications and verification plans in ASIC, software and/or platform to ensure requirements are followed \nPost-Silicon production support with silicon debug and publishing of customer documentation \nIndustry standards tracking & 3rd party IP technical evaluation \nPatenting novel parts of system architecture \nWhat we need to see:\nBachelors, Masters or PhD degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience) \n12+ years of architecture, design and/or verification experience \nProven experience driving architectural features from concept, definition, and modeling through implementation and productization \nStrong system level thinking, with the ability to translate architectural ideas into practical hardware features\nYou have meaningful industry expertise in SoC architecture definition in for example: Clocks, Resets, Interconnects, Memory Controller, Boot, Virtualization, Power Management, Security, System Performance, IO technologies, (PCIE, Camera Interfaces, etc), Multimedia accelerator pipelines, CPU/GPU coherency, Platform integration \nComfortable communicating and solving issues at all levels of architecture definition from micro-architecture to system level to software architecture \nExcellent analytical, written, and verbal interpersonal skills and ability to work as part of a team \nWays to stand out from the crowd:\nDeep understanding of power and performance modeling knowledge and experience \nExperience translating AI/ML or heuristic algorithms into practical hardware features for prediction, control, power management, or performance optimization\nExperience defining predictive or adaptive hardware features for runtime decision-making\nExperience in power management architecture and runtime power-control features is a strong advantage\nExperience working with data scientists to turn models into deployable hardware solutions under power, area, and latency constraints \nInventions in one or more domains relevant to SoC architecture \nNVIDIA 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.
