Soc Product Architect Low Power Soc

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA +1

NVIDIA is seeking a senior SoC/Product Architect to define and drive the architecture of next-generation low-power SoCs. This role involves balancing power, performance, and area, partnering across CPU, GPU, memory, and IO teams, and translating customer requirements into architectural constraints. Experience with DL inference at the edge and mapping workloads to constrained hardware is required.

What you'd actually do

  1. Define SoC architecture for low-power platforms — CPU, GPU, memory subsystem, low-power IOs, and power management
  2. Drive concept-level PPA trade-off analysis and lead the power/performance budget across the SoC
  3. Architect the memory subsystem (LPDDR5/6, on-chip SRAM, bandwidth, QoS) for constrained power envelopes
  4. Work with DL teams for evaluating and crafting workloads for low power — mapping tasks to constrained hardware; define optimization opportunities in partnership with Nvidia’s DL team.
  5. Partner with CPU, GPU, and IO architecture teams inside NVIDIA to align on shared IPs and integration strategies
