NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology—and amazing people. Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work.NVIDIA has a rapidly expanding ecosystem of data center platform & node designs. From single node HGX/DGX systems all the way up to large multi-node NVLink domain rack architectures. These designs have become core to NVIDIA's rapidly growing enterprise and cloud provider businesses. Each bringing together the full power of NVIDIA GPUs, NVIDIA NVLink, NVIDIA InfiniBand networking, NVIDIA Grace CPUs, and a fully optimized NVIDIA AI and HPC software stack. NVIDIA NVLink Fusion will enable industry-leading AI scale-up and scale-out performance with NVIDIA technology plus semi-custom ASICs or CPUs. NVIDIA’s robust partner ecosystem enables hyperscalers to build an ASIC hybrid AI infrastructure with NVIDIA NVLink, rack-scale architecture. We're searching for a highly motived, technical architect to champion work across NVIDIA's Software, Architecture, Networking and Systems engineering teams in defining the architecture for NVLink Fusion. Ensuring we have seamless integration of partner ASICs/CPUs into our rack-scale architecture. Establishing the necessary abstraction layers, guidance/documentation and SW engagement models to make both NVIDIA & its partners successful.What you’ll be doing:Define NVLink Fusion architecture, leveraging industry leading NVIDIA scale-up and scale out technologies as a foundationEstablish appropriate software abstraction layers & reference software required for NVLink Fusion partners to extend NVIDIA's rack-scale architecture.Work directly with major customers to understand their requirements and work to align their roadmap with NVIDIA’s roadmap.Work with business partners and vendors to shape their products to meet NVIDIA’s needs.Mentor architects and engineering teams to grow them into future leaders.Make key technical decisions even when faced with ambiguity, and mitigate execution risks by following left shift strategy to accelerate time to market.What we need to see:BS or MS degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related degree or equivalent experience.16+ years in the area of System architecture and designDeep experience in designing architecture for scalable and performant server systems, particularly at the SW/HW interface.Previous experience working with complex system software for accelerators such as GPUs, DPUs, or FPGAsExpertise in out-of-band and in-band management architectures.Knowledge of device management protocols such as MCTP, PLDM and RDE.Knowledge of system management protocols such as Redfish and IPMI.Demonstrable experience in implementing left shift strategy to de-risk program execution. Excellent written and verbal communication skills.Ways to stand out from the crowd:Knowledge of cloud and cluster level deployment and management systems.Participation and contributions in standards bodies such as OCP and DMTF.Familiarity with CXL, UCIE and other C2C technology architectures. Knowledge in storage and networking technologies.We are widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers, and as a result have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us.
