NVIDIA is looking for a Principal SoC Architect to join their architecture team, focusing on the development of advanced Edge AI, Robotics, and Autonomous Driving platforms. This role involves owning the architectural definition of SoCs that integrate NVIDIA GPUs and computer vision accelerators. The position requires collaboration across various disciplines, including robotics applications and automotive safety standards. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in high-performance silicon architecture and a strong background in robotics and automotive systems.

• 15+ years of deep architecture design experience in high-performance silicon.
• Meaningful industry expertise in top-level SoC definition.
• Practical knowledge of high-speed interfaces such as PCIe and Time-Sensitive Networking.
• Deep understanding of hardware support for real-time operating systems and deterministic latency.
• Master’s or PhD degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.

• Define and drive the hardware architecture from early concept through bring-up and ecosystem enablement.
• Collaborate with software, deep learning, and safety teams to co-design hardware feature sets.
• Perform rigorous performance, power, and area modeling for thermally constrained environments.
• Author high-quality architecture specifications and develop models to validate architectural choices.
• Define validation plans to ensure hardware meets real-time execution and safety metrics.
• Participate in silicon debug, performance tuning, and generate user documentation for customers.

• 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.
