Senior ASIC Architect

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 u/architect for our switch 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 switch product lines’ performance, both Ethernet and InfiniBand. Your role will be cross-disciplinary, working with software, ASIC design, verification, physical design and platform teams to improve performance and debug.

What you'll be doing:

Learn and understand the switch u/architecture thoroughly across all aspects and become a source of information for the design and verification engineers.

Define the implementation of the most sophisticated performance features of our next products, balancing architecture requirements with backend, execution, and design considerations.

Define the implementation of debug capabilities to support performance validation and improvements

Understand our system requirement and help define the POR of our switch 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 Ethernet, InfiniBand and NvLink protocols.

What we need to see:

B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from a known university

Excellent grades

5+ years of experience in ASIC design/uarch/arch/performance

At least 4 years of hands on experience in writing Verilog/VHDL or

Ability to drive complex activities involving many interfaces and teams

Good communications skill

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Knowledge in switching fabrics with strict performance requirements. (Networking, SOC connectivity, etc)

Experience as an HW-architect.

Familiar with working on large high-end ASICs.

Experience in performance improvements in ASIC
