Distinguished 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 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, 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 u/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

20+ years of experience in ASIC development

More than 7 years of experience in uArch/Arch 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 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.
