The Senior Cache Coherency Architect role at NVIDIA involves contributing to the architecture of cache-coherent interconnect and cache subsystems. The position requires collaboration with various architects to define effective coherency solutions for SoC designs. This role plays a crucial part in developing scalable, low-latency interconnect systems that power NVIDIA's innovative products. The architect will also work closely with multiple teams throughout the project lifecycle to ensure compliance and performance.

• Master's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of experience in processor design or other high-performance semiconductor designs.
• Deep understanding of cache coherency, with hands-on experience in industry-standard protocols such as AXI, ACE, and CHI.
• Experience authoring specifications and designing cache-coherent interconnects.
• Strong understanding of system and memory subsystem architecture, focusing on cache-coherent interconnect.
• Experience developing coherent IP models for simulation and emulation.
• Proficiency in C, C++, Python, and Verilog.

• Define consistent interconnect architecture, cache-coherency protocols, and high-performance on-chip interconnect interfaces.
• Contribute to interconnect IP block specifications, build, verification, and integration into the NoC fabric to ensure cache-coherency compliance.
• Collaborate with architects to guarantee the interconnect architecture aligns with project power, performance, and area requirements.
• Develop and maintain functional and performance models for the NoC fabric and IP units to assist with analysis and validation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional design and verification teams to ensure implementations align with architectural specifications.
• Support silicon bring-up and post-silicon debug as needed.

• 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.
