Job description
NVIDIA is seeking a Senior SoC Subsystem & I/O Architect to join their LPU team, focusing on the high-level architecture for next-generation AI and high-performance computing products. This role requires extensive architectural expertise across various SoC subsystems and uncore IPs. The successful candidate will work in a diverse and supportive environment, contributing to innovative computing solutions. This is an opportunity to make a significant impact in a leading technology company.
Requirements
- BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
- 8+ years of proven experience in SoC architecture, subsystem architecture, IO architecture, interconnect architecture, GPU/CPU architecture, accelerator architecture, or high-performance systems.
- Strong understanding of SoC architecture and uncore subsystem development.
- Extensive understanding of IO and interconnect cores including PCIe, CXL, NVLink, NVLink-C2C, UCIe, AXI, CHI, or NoC fabrics.
- Experience working from product requirements to architecture requirements and IP/subsystem specifications.
- Solid grasp of memory ordering, coherency, address translation, interrupts, virtualization, MMUs/IOMMUs, enumeration, configuration, and error management.
Responsibilities
- Define high-level SoC subsystem architecture for LPU products.
- Convert LPU product requirements into architectural specifications for uncore, IO, memory, firmware-facing, boot, reset, safety, fault tolerance, diagnostic, and power regulation subsystems.
- Collaborate intimately with IP teams to develop detailed build documents for various interconnect technologies.
- Specify subsystem behavior encompassing enumeration, capability discovery, configuration flows, and error handling.
- Build or guide functional and architectural models from specifications using programming languages.
- Drive tradeoffs across bandwidth, latency, power, area, timing, scalability, reliability, security, debuggability, and software usability.
- Review IP specifications, subsystem architecture documents, model behavior, verification plans, and validation strategies.
- Collaborate with various teams to bring architecture decisions to completion.
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.
