Senior Hardware Architect

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Yokneam, Israel

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Hardware Architect for their Networking Silicon group, focusing on the design of BlueField DPU SOC and ConnectX NICs. The role involves micro-architectural design, system requirement analysis, RTL design, performance analysis, and debugging for high-speed communication devices used in AI data centers.

What you'd actually do

  1. You will be part of a small and exclusive micro-architecture team and have the opportunity to make a real impact in designing the micro-architecture of the next generation state of the art network card hand in hand with the product architect making sure implementation meets the product goals.
  2. Work closely with architecture and design teams to thoroughly understand system requirements and identify micro-architecture solutions, while weighing trade-offs related to performance, area and power consumption
  3. Break high-level arch requirements into lower-level design building blocks. Focal point for the design team, reviewing implementation and guiding the team.
  4. Find bottlenecks early in the development cycle using performance analysis and simulations
  5. Use your understanding of the entire chip and system to identify and debug pre and post silicon full-chip issues
