Senior SoC Architect

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior SoC Architect for its networking unit, a world-leader in supercomputers and AI acceleration. This role involves defining the architecture of next-generation NIC and DPU products, working cross-disciplinary with various engineering teams, and solving complex full-chip correctness and performance issues. The architect will also define sophisticated debug features and understand system debug requirements.

Must Have

• B.Sc./M.Sc in Electrical Engineering
• 5+ years of experience in ASIC design/uarch/arch/performance
• 4+ years of hands-on experience in writing Verilog/VHDL
• Strong analytic and debug capabilities
• Thorough understanding of SoC flows, PCIe, Ethernet, InfiniBand, and NvLink protocols

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 (~10 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 switch u/architecture thoroughly across all aspects and become a source of information for the design and verification engineers.
• Define the implementation of the most sophisticated debug features of our next products, balancing architecture requirements with backend, execution, and design considerations.
• Define the implementation of debug capabilities to support performance validation and improvements
• Understand our system debug 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
