Investigate chip-wide correctness and performance issues across design units.
Coordinate with GPU, CPU, software, verification, board, and package teams.
Full Description
NVIDIA networking unit is a world-leader fast-growing company which supports the most powerful supercomputers in the world. We make outstanding artificial intelligence happen and accelerate Open-AI’s Chat-GPT, for example. We believe in our people and products and seek excellent people to join us!
We're looking for a hardware architect for our NIC and DPU division. In this position, as part of a small (~15 employees) elite team, you will have the chance to define the architecture of NVIDIA’s next generation NIC and DPU products. Your role will be cross-disciplinary, working with software, ASIC design, verification, physical design and platform teams to improve performance and debug.
What you'll be doing:
• Learn and understand the NIC u/architecture thoroughly across all aspects and become a source of information for the design and verification engineers.
• Define the next generation NVIDIA systems. Work closely with GPU and CPU teams for building the cut-edge systems.
• Define the implementation of the most sophisticated features of our next products, balancing architecture requirements with backend, execution, and design considerations.
• Understand our system requirements and help define the POR of our NIC and DPU product line.
• Face the most challenging Full-Chip correctness and performance issues, which cannot be handled by the units’ designers as they require full cross-unit understanding of the chip.
• Work closely with board and package design to understand the different design limitations: power, di/dt, temperature, signal-integrity etc.
• Thoroughly understand SoC flows, PCIe, Ethernet, InfiniBand and NvLink protocols.
What we need to see:
• B.Sc./M.Sc in Electrical Engineering from a known university
• Excellent grades
• 5+ years of experience in ASIC design/uarch/arch/performance
• At least 4 years of hands on experience in writing Verilog/VHDL or
• Strong analytic capabilities, and passion for solving logical issues
• Strong debug skills
• Ability to drive complex activities involving many interfaces and teams
• Good communications skill
NVIDIA's architecture teams are among the most technically demanding in the industry. If you're a senior architect who has already started using AI — and wants to institutionalize that change across an entire organization — we want to hear from you.
