Job description

NVIDIA is looking for a Design Engineer for our Coherent High Speed Interconnect team!

For two decades, NVIDIA has pioneered visual computing, the art and science of computer graphics. With our invention of the GPU - the engine of modern visual computing - the field has grown to encompass video games, movie production, product design, medical diagnosis, and scientific research! Today, we stand at the beginning of the next era, the AI computing era, ignited by a new computing model, GPU deep learning. This new model - where deep neural networks are trained to recognize patterns from substantial amounts of data - has shown to be deeply effective at solving the most sophisticated problems in everyday life.

What You'll be Doing:

• You will be working on architecture and design of our state-of-the-art high speed coherent interconnects (NVLINK-C2C) for our mobile SoCs and GPUs.

• Collaborate with architects, external partners, software engineers, and circuit designers to deliver a class leading high speed coherent interconnect.

• The NVLINK-C2C enables the creation of a new class of integrated products with NVIDIA partners, built via chiplets, allowing NVIDIA GPUs, DPUs, and CPUs to be coherently interconnected with custom silicon.

• To learn more about NVIDIA's ultra-fast chip interconnect technology visit: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/nvlink-c2c/

• This position offers the opportunity to have real impact in a dynamic, technology-focused company impacting product lines ranging from consumer graphics to self-driving cars and the growing field of artificial intelligence.
