Senior RDMA and Networking Architect

Responsibilities

• Define and guide protocol and architecture direction for RDMA and sophisticated transport technologies across next-generation networking platforms, with particular focus on performance, scalability, interoperability, and adaptability.
• Lead technical work spanning RDMA semantics, congestion management, multipath transport, reliability, ordering, virtualization, and software-visible interfaces.
• Develop NVIDIA's viewpoint and contributions across major ecosystem and standards organizations, including UEC, IBTA, IEEE, and OCP.
• Work closely with architects, hardware, firmware, software, validation, and product teams to transform protocol concepts into practical features and prioritized roadmap investments.
• Evaluate standards proposals, protocol extensions, and ecosystem requirements; identify tradeoffs early and drive streamlined technical recommendations.
• Engage with contributors from inside and outside the organization to advance interoperability, performance portability, and adoption within the RDMA ecosystem.
• Use analysis, modeling, experimentation, traces, and system-level reasoning to validate architectural decisions and expose bottlenecks or protocol gaps.
• Represent the technical direction of the work clearly to senior leaders, engineering teams, and external collaborators.
• What we need to see
• B.Sc, M.Sc, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
