Job description

The GPU PCIe and Boot architect role at NVIDIA involves designing the architecture and infrastructure for boot, PCIe/CXL enumeration, and capability discovery. This position is part of a dynamic architecture team that focuses on the interaction of GPU sub-system modules with the overall system. Engineers will have the opportunity to impact various product lines, including consumer graphics and artificial intelligence. The role emphasizes collaboration with software, hardware, and verification teams globally.

Requirements

  • BS or MS in compute architecture, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
  • Course work or industry experience in Computer Architecture, Operating systems, and/or system architecture.

Responsibilities

  • Understand how the GPU sub-system modules interoperate and interact with the overall system.
  • Architect and plan features in concert with software, hardware, and verification teams.
  • Create functional and performance models in C++ along with test plans to validate the features designed.
  • Actively support post-silicon validation activities.

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.
