NVIDIA is seeking a Senior System Architect to define two foundational areas of the GPU: the mechanisms that manage GPU execution state and the register address and access architecture used across the processor. This hands-on role spans architecture, functional modeling, verification, hardware and software integration, and silicon bring-up.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and evolve GPU context-management mechanisms, including efficient methods for saving and restoring execution state.
  • Own the GPU-wide register address map, coordinate address allocation, resolve conflicts, and maintain a scalable architecture through multiple product iterations.
  • Define requirements, interfaces, compatibility expectations, and on-die and cross-die interconnects for register access and programming.
  • Develop C++ functional-model support and collaborate with hardware build, embedded software, device software, testing, and performance groups to translate architectural requirements into coordinated solutions.
  • Evaluate tradeoffs across performance, area, complexity, scalability, reliability, compatibility, and development effort.
  • Build validation strategies, debug cross-stack issues through pre-silicon validation and initial silicon testing, and improve the tools and automation supporting register-interface development.
  • What we need to see
  • A bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a similar field, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of proven experience in computer architecture, GPU architecture, CPU architecture, system-on-chip design, or a related area.
  • Experience designing, modeling, or validating sophisticated hardware features from definition through confirmation, with proficiency in C++ and Python or a comparable scripting language.
