Senior Architect, Memory Subsystem - Hardware

Company: NVIDIA
Location: Santa Clara
Posted on: June 28, 2020

Job Description:

We are now looking for a Senior Architect in our Memory Subsystem team:

NVIDIA is building the world's fastest highly-parallel processing systems for automotive, deep-learning, entertainment, high-performance computation applications. Our high-bandwidth multi-client memory subsystems are pushing the boundaries with every generation. As we increase levels of parallelism, bandwidth and capacity, we are presented with design challenges exacerbated by clients with varying but simultaneous needs such as real-time, low latency, and high-bandwidth. In addition we are continuing to add and evolve additional features in the areas of security, virtualization, and programming model capabilities.

What you'll be doing:

• 
  
  
• Invent and craft new memory sub-system architectures.
  
• Explore architecture trade-offs in system performance, quality of service, area, and power consumption.
  
• Drive the functional requirements of the system like security, coherency, virtualization, etc.
  
• Develop interconnect (Network-on-chip - NOC) and memory hierarchies for high performance parallel computer architectures
  
• Build performance simulators and models and workloads to validate the same.
  
• Develop functional models and test suites.
  
  
  What we need to see:
  
  • 
    
  • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a relevant related area of focus.
  • 5+ years of architecture research and/or development of memory hierarchy, high speed interconnects, or DRAM controller. A demonstrated history of technical leadership is a huge plus.
  • 7+ years of research and development experience in performance analysis, tools, or simulators.
  • 7+ years of C/C++ development.
  • Knowledge of high performance memory system or interconnect architectures, experience with various virtualization techniques, including performance modeling and functional modeling and analysis.
  • Systems experience in characterizing and debugging performance issues and driving tradeoffs and solutions.
  • Ideal candidates will have experience in domains of Processor architecture, High-Performance Computing (HPC), Virtualization, Memory Hierarchies and Coherency, Interconnect Architectures, and System Architecture.
    
    The GPU has shown to be unbelievably effective at solving some of the most complex problems in computer science. It started out as an engine for simulating human imagination, conjuring up the amazing virtual worlds of video games and Hollywood films. Today, NVIDIA's GPU simulates human intelligence, running deep learning algorithms and acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. NVIDIA is increasingly known as "the AI computing company."
    
    NVIDIA is one of the technology world's most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. Are you a creative and autonomous system architect with a drive for crafting the highest performing silicon? Are you passionate about leading the next wave of computing? If so, we want to hear from you!NVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
