Senior Soc Architect

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Yokneam, Israel +1

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior SoC Architect for its NIC and DPU division. The role involves defining the architecture of next-generation products, working cross-functionally with software, ASIC design, verification, and platform teams. Responsibilities include learning and understanding the switch architecture, defining debug features, supporting performance validation, and addressing complex full-chip correctness and performance issues. Requires 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 debug 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 debug requirements and help define the POR of our NIC and DPU 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.
