Santa Clara, CA$152k - $241.5kFull-timePosted 6mo ago
About the role
Senior-level role at NVIDIA focusing on architecture of cache-coherent interconnects and subsystems, collaborating with CPU/GPU/memory/SoC teams, and coordinating with IP creation and verification teams to deliver scalable, low-latency, high-bandwidth coherent interconnects across NVIDIA products.
Responsibilities
- Define consistent interconnect architecture, cache-coherency protocols, and high-performance on-chip interconnect interfaces.
- Contribute to interconnect IP block specifications, build, verification, and integration into the NoC fabric to ensure cache-coherency compliance.
- Collaborate with architects to guarantee the interconnect architecture aligns with project power, performance, and area (PPA) requirements.
- Develop and maintain functional and performance models for the NoC fabric and IP units to assist with analysis and validation.
- Collaborate with cross-functional design and verification teams (simulation, emulation, and formal) to ensure implementations align with architectural specifications.
- Support silicon bring-up and post-silicon debug as needed.
Qualifications
- Master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of experience in processor design or other high-performance semiconductor designs.
- Deep understanding of cache coherency, with hands-on experience in industry-standard protocols (e.g., AXI, ACE, CHI).
- Experience authoring specifications and designing cache-coherent interconnects.
- Strong understanding of system and memory subsystem architecture, with a focus on cache-coherent interconnect.
- Experience developing coherent IP models (e.g., VIPs, BFMs) for simulation and emulation.
- Proficiency in C, C++, Python, and Verilog.
