Senior AI Network System Architect

Our technology has no boundaries! NVIDIA is building the world’s most groundbreaking and state-of-the-art accelerated computing platforms. Because of our work, scientists, researchers, and engineers can advance their ideas. We pioneered a supercharged form of computing loved by the fastest-paced computer users in the world—scientists, designers, artists, and gamers.

We seek a highly motivated Senior AI Network System Architect to join our team of experts and help shape the foundational infrastructure for the AI revolution. Our next-generation networking systems are at the forefront of connecting and powering the world's most advanced AI clusters. As a key member of our architecture team, you will be responsible for a wide range of critical activities, from deep technical analysis and performance modeling to strategic architectural studies, ensuring NVIDIA continues to innovate and lead.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Define, develop, and execute cutting-edge benchmarks and workloads to analyze system performance, identify bottlenecks, and drive optimizations across our hardware and software stack.
• Drive the direction of our future products by performing deep-dive analysis of system architectures and solutions to assess their performance, efficiency, and value proposition.
• Develop and validate sophisticated performance and network simulation models, correlating them with real-world hardware to predict and analyze the behavior of future systems.
• Analyze and optimize the entire AI stack, including communication libraries (like NCCL) and system software to the underlying network fabric, developing Proof-of-Concepts (POCs) for new features and improvements.
• Conceptualize next-generation networking architectures driven by emerging DL and AI technologies.
• Collaborate with multi-functional teams, including other architecture teams, logic design, system software, firmware, and DL research teams, to ensure the successful execution of our vision.
  
  

What We Need To See

• M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 6+ years of relevant industry or research experience in high-performance computing, computer architecture, or computer networks.
• Excellent understanding of large-scale system behavior and the effect of distributed computing workloads on network and system performance.
• Proven experience in simulative performance analysis or benchmarking.
• Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and systems-thinking skills, with the ability to translate complex technical data into strategic architectural insights.
• Hands-on programming skills in Python and/or AI frameworks for system analysis, automation, and modeling.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and work concurrently with multiple groups across the organization.
  
  

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• Expertise in the architecture and system-level requirements of large-scale, distributed DL workloads (e.g., LLMs, Generative AI for vision).
• Deep understanding of communication libraries such as NCCL, UCX, or UCC.
• Expertise in network protocols (Ethernet, InfiniBand, RoCE) and large-scale network topologies.
• Experience with industry-standard AI benchmarks (e.g., MLPerf) and NVIDIA's frameworks (e.g., NeMo) on large-scale clusters.
