Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a highly motivated technical architect to lead the architecture for NVLink Fusion, integrating partner ASICs and CPUs into NVIDIA's rack-scale architecture. This role involves collaboration across software, architecture, networking, and systems engineering teams to define and establish necessary software abstraction layers and reference software. The ideal candidate will work closely with major customers and business partners to align roadmaps and mentor engineering teams. This position is crucial for driving innovation in NVIDIA's rapidly expanding data center platform and node designs.

Requirements

  • BS or MS degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related degree or equivalent experience.
  • 16+ years of experience in system architecture and design.
  • Deep experience in designing architecture for scalable and performant server systems, particularly at the software/hardware interface.
  • Previous experience working with complex system software for accelerators such as GPUs, DPUs, or FPGAs.
  • Expertise in out-of-band and in-band management architectures.
  • Knowledge of device management protocols such as MCTP, PLDM, and RDE.
  • Knowledge of system management protocols such as Redfish and IPMI.
  • Demonstrable experience in implementing left shift strategy to de-risk program execution.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Responsibilities

  • Define NVLink Fusion architecture, leveraging NVIDIA scale-up and scale-out technologies.
  • Establish appropriate software abstraction layers and reference software for NVLink Fusion partners.
  • Work directly with major customers to understand their requirements and align their roadmap with NVIDIA's roadmap.
  • Collaborate with business partners and vendors to shape their products to meet NVIDIA's needs.
  • Mentor architects and engineering teams to develop future leaders.
  • Make key technical decisions and mitigate execution risks by following a left shift strategy.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
