Senior GPU Architect: Performance & SoC Mastery

Nvidia Corporation; United States; On-site; USD 180,000 - 260,000; Full time

Job summary

Nvidia Corporation is seeking a Senior Architect to lead performance analysis for high-performance GPUs and SoCs. You will model hardware at various levels, run workloads, and partner with architecture teams to trade off performance, area, and power. Strong hands-on C/C++, Verilog/SystemVerilog, and data analysis skills are essential.

The role requires 5+ years in performance analysis with SoC/GPU exposure, plus leadership experience. A PhD is a plus.

Qualifications

• BE/BTech or MS/MTech in relevant area, PhD is a plus.
• 5+ years of experience with exposure to performance analysis and complex SoC and/or GPU architectures.
• Demonstrated history of technical leadership.
• Strong understanding of SoC architecture, graphics pipeline, memory subsystem architecture and NoC/Interconnect architecture.
• Strong hands on competence in programming (C/C++) and scripting (Perl/Python). Exposure to Verilog/System Verilog, SystemC/TLM is a strong plus.
• Strong debugging and analysis skills, including data and statistical analysis for rtl dumps to debug failures.

Responsibilities

• Performance analysis/bottleneck analysis of complex, high performance GPUs and SoCs.
• Work on hardware models of different levels of extraction, including performance models, RTL test benches and emulators, to find performance bottlenecks in the system.
• Work closely with the architecture and design teams to explore architecture trade-offs related to system performance, area, and power consumption.
• Understand key performance usecases or the product. Develop workloads and test suites targeting graphics, machine learning, automotive, video, compute vision applications running on these products.
• Drive methodologies for improving turnaround time, finding representative data-sets and enabling performance analysis early in the product development cycle.
• Develop required infrastructure including performance simulators, testbench components and analysis tools.
