  • Knowledge of industry standard interconnect protocols like PCIE, CXL, AXI, and CHI is useful.
  • Understanding or experience with link layer stacks including data link layer and physical layer is required.
  • Experience with physical layer interconnects such as Memory (DDR, LPDDR), PCIE, and SerDes is essential.
  • Strong working knowledge of Verilog or System Verilog is required.
  • Good communication and interpersonal skills are necessary, with a history of mentoring junior engineers being a significant plus.

Responsibilities

  • Work on the architecture and design of high-speed coherent interconnects for mobile SoCs and GPUs.
  • Collaborate with architects, external partners, software engineers, and circuit designers to deliver class-leading interconnect solutions.
  • Enable the creation of integrated products with NVIDIA partners through chiplets.
  • Contribute to the development of NVIDIA's ultra-fast chip interconnect technology.
