Job description

NVIDIA networking unit is a world-leader fast-growing company which supports the most powerful supercomputers in the world. We make outstanding artificial intelligence happen and accelerate Open-AI’s Chat-GPT, for example. We believe in our people and products and seek excellent people to join us!

We're looking for a hardware architect for our NIC and DPU division. In this position, as part of a small (~10 employees) elite team, you will have the chance to define the architecture of NVIDIA’s next generation NIC and DPU products.

• Understand our system requirements and help define the POR of our NIC and DPU product line.

• Face the most challenging Full-Chip correctness and performance issues, which cannot be handled by the units’ designers as they require full cross-unit understanding of the chip.

• Work closely with board and package design to understand the different design limitations: power, di/dt, temperature, signal-integrity etc.

• Thoroughly understand SoC flows, PCIe, Ethernet, InfiniBand and NvLink protocols.

What we need to see:
