Senior Hardware SoC Architect

We are looking for a Senior Hardware SoC Architect for our Tegra Team! Do you want to be a part of Artificial Intelligence Revolution? Would you like to work with world-class systems architects and deep learning experts to define the next generation SoC? NVIDIA is developing processor and system architectures that are at the forefront of accelerating machine learning, automotive and high-performance computing applications. We are building the most advanced SoC's 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.

The NVIDIA Tegra Architecture team is seeking a high-quality architect for our Fuse and Repair Architecture Team. This position requires an interest in reset and boot-related chip-level infrastructure domains in SOCs. It will also require a strong background in System C-modeling and scripting and an interest in improving methodologies and automations for improving team efficiency.

What you’ll be doing:

In this position, you will have the opportunity to work with a diverse set of teams to determine fuse and repair architectures, based on IP and product requirements. This involves working with other IP architects, designers, verification, Physical Design, Software, DFT, Security, Automotive Safety and others. You will be required to capture these requirements in various architecture documents clearly and drive their reviews. You will also be required to review both upstream and downstream specifications and verification plans, as well as the development of architectural C-models. Additionally, you would be involved in implementing methodologies that would help improve the efficiency of the team and the quality of our outputs.

What we need to see:

• A Masters Degree (or equivalent experience) in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering with 3+ years relevant industry experience

• Strong knowledge of chip reset, boot and initialization

• Good knowledge of ASIC design/verification/implementation flows

• Excellent written, verbal and negotiation skills, to work with others and build consensus

• Excellent analytical and independent problem-solving skills

• Strong scripting skills in languages such as Perl or Python

• Strong C++/SystemC experience

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Previous Experience with Fuse and/or Repair controllers

• First-hand experience with crafting Architectural C-Models

• Automotive Functional Safety working experience with ISO26262 standard

NVIDIA 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. If you're creative, autonomous and love a challenge, we want to hear from you!
