Senior Asic Architect

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Tel Aviv, Israel

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior ASIC Architect for its switch division. This role involves defining the architecture of next-generation switch product lines, focusing on performance for Ethernet and InfiniBand. The position requires cross-disciplinary collaboration with software, ASIC design, verification, physical design, and platform teams to improve performance and debug complex issues. The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of experience in ASIC design/uarch/arch/performance and strong analytical and debug skills.

What you'd actually do

  1. Learn and understand the switch u/architecture thoroughly across all aspects and become a source of information for the design and verification engineers.
  2. Define the implementation of the most sophisticated performance features of our next products, balancing architecture requirements with backend, execution, and design considerations.
  3. Define the implementation of debug capabilities to support performance validation and improvements
  4. Understand our system requirement and help define the POR of our switch product line.
  5. 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.
