Job summary

NVIDIA seeks a Senior SoC Subsystem & I/O Architect to define high-level architecture for next‑gen AI and HPC products. Lead subsystem design across uncore IPs including PCIe/CXL, NVLink, UCIe, AXI/CHI, NoC fabrics, memory systems, and boot interfaces.

Translate product requirements into architectural specs and collaborate with IP, firmware, software, and verification teams. You will build functional/architectural models in C++, SystemC, and Python to validate concepts before RTL and silicon.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of proven experience in SoC architecture and related fields.
• Strong understanding of uncore subsystems and IO interconnects (PCIe, CXL, NVLink, UCIe).
• Experience translating product requirements into architecture and IP specs.
• Experience building architectural/functional models from specs in C++/SystemC/Python.

Responsibilities

• Define high-level SoC subsystem architecture for LPU products.
• Convert product requirements into architectural specifications for uncore, IO, memory, firmware-facing, boot, and related subsystems.
• Collaborate with IP teams to develop build documents for PCIe/CXL, NVLink, UCIe, AXI/CHI, NoC fabrics, and memory controllers.
• Specify subsystem behavior for enumeration, configuration, interrupt handling, virtualization, memory ordering, and error management.
• Build or guide functional and architectural models using C++, SystemC, Python; validate intent before RTL or silicon.
• Drive tradeoffs across bandwidth, latency, power, area, timing, reliability, security, and software usability.
• Review IP specs, architecture documents, and validation strategies; collaborate across multiple teams to finalize decisions.
