Principal Switch Engineering 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 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, both Ethernet and InfiniBand. Your role will be cross-disciplinary, working with software, ASIC design, verification, physical design and platform teams.

What you'll be doing:

• Learn and understand the switch architecture thoroughly across all aspects, and eventually turn into a source of information for design and verification engineers in the team.
• Define the implementation of the most sophisticated features and algorithms of our next products, balancing architecture requirements with backend, execution, and design considerations.
• 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.S or MS. in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
• More than 15 years of experience in ASIC development
• More than 7 years of experience in architecture definitions of networking ASICs
• At least 6 years of hands-on experience in writing Verilog/VHDL
• Strong analytic capabilities, and passion for solving logical issues
• Ability to drive complex activities involving many interfaces and teams
• Good communication skills

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.

The base salary range is 272,000 USD - 419,750 USD. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.
