The role involves serving as a technical architect for NVIDIA's Space-1 Orbital Data Center module, focusing on end-to-end system software architecture for orbital platforms. The architect will work closely with hardware teams and customers to ensure the software meets mission requirements and operates reliably in low-Earth orbit. This position requires a deep understanding of server architecture and the ability to manage complex software stacks. The goal is to deliver a production-ready inference platform that can withstand the challenges of space environments.

• 15+ years of relevant experience in server/platform system software, including compute libraries, BMC firmware, BIOS, host OS, drivers, and manageability.
• BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Proven record of architecting and delivering platform software for large-scale data centers or mission-critical embedded systems.
• Strong knowledge of server architecture, data center manageability, and full-stack integration of firmware with OS and accelerator software.
• Solid understanding of hardware management interfaces and proficiency with modern management protocols including Redfish, MCTP, and PLDM.
• Strong and demonstrable skill in C/C++ and Python.
• Experience programming and debugging server platforms, including pre-silicon and platform bring-up environments.
• Experience in SCM and project management tools like Jira.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills, good work ethics, and a high sense of teamwork.

• Own system architecture for the inference stack and applications running on the products.
• Co-architect with the orbital hardware system architecture team to define interfaces and trade-offs across various layers.
• Define the manageability architecture for an unreachable, autonomous data center.
• Architect rad-tolerant system software behaviors for long-duration missions.
• Drive management protocols across BMC, BIOS, and host software for customer operations.
• Partner with customers to translate mission requirements into actionable platform software architecture.
• Drive reliability and optimization in the system software architecture from an orbital data center viewpoint.
• Work closely with the bring-up team to resolve issues from first silicon through first launch.
• Own quality, reliability, and telemetry performance of the system software delivered with each ODC module.

• 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.
