Job description

Join NVIDIA, a trailblazer at the forefront of graphics and artificial intelligence performance, efficiency, and innovation. From our roots as a groundbreaking graphics company, we have evolved into a global leader in artificial intelligence, continuously pushing the boundaries to solve complex challenges across diverse industries.

NVIDIA Silicon Solutions Group is seeking a versatile engineer to be part of the HW ArchDev team. The SSG team is uniquely positioned to have an end-to-end view of the product development cycle - from early arch definition, through bringup, to product release. Our ArchDev arm is a hub for all silicon and system level feature development, tradeoff analysis, system integration solutions, and system POR alignment.

What you'll be doing:

• Build roadmaps of system level features to address low power, low noise, perf/watt efficient product needs by doing prototyping, use case analysis, and system level cost/benefit tradeoff.
• Architect, design, and integrate system level features, controllers, and policies to optimize product performance and power based on roadmap.
• Work closely with architecture, ASIC, board/platform design, software/firmware, marketing, and other cross-functional teams to drive architecture, design, and debug.
• Keep track of the latest industry direction, market needs, and technology development; incorporate them into future roadmaps to build more competitive products.
• Lead debug, craft WARs, and support bringup, validation, manufacturing, and customer issues on relevant features.

What we need to see:

• BS or MS degree in EE/CE or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of proven experience in silicon power architecture, system level design, validation, and power/performance optimization.
• Strong EE fundamentals on digital design, low power design, DVFS, control systems, signal integrity, timing, and micro architecture.
• Strong understanding of firmware/driver structures and HW/SW interaction.
• Helpful to have experience with clocking, boot/reset flows, system architecture.
• Good to have hands-on lab experience with silicon bringup, lab debug and lab tools (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers).
• Excellent problem solving, teamwork, and interpersonal skills.
• Basic programming experience such as C/C++, Python, Perl in Windows/Linux environment.

It’s not just technology, though! It is our people, some of the brightest in the world. At the center of NVIDIA's culture are our core values, like innovation, perfection, determination, and teamwork, that guide us to be the best we can be. This makes NVIDIA one of the most innovative and multifaceted places to work. We do our life's work here, and if you are creative and driven, then we want to hear from you.
