We are seeking Principal CPU Performance Architects to build next generation CPU cores in support of a diverse array of NVIDIA products. If you are passionate about improving CPU performance through innovative CPU microarchitectural ideas, modeling them to demonstrate merit and then seeing them through implementation and Silicon bring-up; read on! What you'll be doing: Collaborate with
other micro-architects and senior designers to propose and demonstrate the merit and limitations of innovative core CPU & Fabric microarchitectural features to drive up performance per area per power on various targeted workloads.
Do the detailed performance modeling and debug, and studies to support inclusion of these features in the next generation core microarchitecture on the basis of performance, area or power improvement Partner with design and verification leads to iterate through specification, implementation in RTL and verification of the microarchitecture features to achieve target functionality, performance, frequency, area, power and verifiability Collaborate with Silicon
Bring-up and Product teams to verify and debug the microarchitecture and its delivered performance A strong ability to communicate and drive to closure microarchitectural proposals both within the CPU Core and cross functionally with technical stakeholders across the SOC/SW/System both verbally and through presentations and documents.
What we need to see: Ph D in a relevant CPU and Fabric microarchitecture area or equivalent experience At least 10+ years of experience Prior experience innovating and architecting around Fabric Congestion Management & Qo S features such as cache capacity and memory bandwidth apportioning mechanisms in large core-count systems is required.
Prior experience in CPU, Fabric & SOC memory subsystem (caches, prefetchers etc. ) large core-count So Cs and core CPU microarchitecture is required. A deep understanding of the state of the art of CPU microarchitecture and architecture with experience in one or more of the following broad areas: Memory Subsystem CPU micro-arch (MMU/TLB, Address Gen, Load/Store Units, L1, L2 caches, Prefetch) System / SOC Fabric & Memory Subsystem Uarch Large System Cache Coherency experience Experience in control theory design and mechanisms for dynamic feedback systems is highly desirable. Ways to stand out from the crowd: A technology enthusiast and passionate about what you do Strong collaborative and interpersonal skills, and a proven ability to effectively guide and influence the merits and drawbacks of the microarchitectural ideas to fellow micro architects, and implementation leads in a variety of media, both verbally and through presentations and documents.

Architect/Design jobs encompass a broad range of professions focused on planning, designing, and overseeing the construction or renovation of structures and spaces. Architects blend science and art to create functional, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing designs. These professionals need a keen eye for detail, a solid understanding of engineering principles, and a creative mindset to envision spaces that meet clients' needs and comply with safety regulations. Designers, often specializing in interior, graphic, or industrial design, focus on the usability, style, and user experience of spaces or products. Both fields require strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively, as projects typically involve coordination with various stakeholders, from clients to engineers and contractors.
