Senior Manager, SoC Architecture

NVIDIA is seeking an exceptional manager for our Tegra Architecture Team to drive the development of future high-performance, power-efficient SOC (System on Chip) processors to be used in 3D graphics, deep learning, HPC (High Performance Computing) and automotive markets. This position offers the opportunity to have real impact in a dynamic, technology-focused company developing state-of-the-art processor and system architectures at the forefront of accelerating machine learning, autonomous vehicles, and high-performance computing applications.

NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to solve, that only we can tackle, and that matter to the world. We have built a team of extraordinary people stretching around the globe, whose mission is to push the frontiers of what is possible today and define the platform for the future of computing. Our SoC architects excel at pushing the state of the art through our inventions and innovations, while making the best engineering trade-offs. 

What you'll be doing:

• Manage and help lead the architecture development for Nvidia's SOCs that cater to a wide range of markets from computing to Automotive.
• Work with product leads and architecture leads to compile product requirements, prioritize and drive feasibility analysis to define project specs and Plan of Record for the team.
• Manage the SOC architecture development cycle from concept, Plan of Record, Architecture development and validation, and power/performance optimization.

• Work with a highly matrixed and efficient global development team
• Coordinate with leads from architecture, design, verification, physical design, software, DFT, Security, functional safety, and platform teams.
• Provide technical leadership and career mentorship to the team.

What we need to see:

• Masters (or higher degree) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields, with at least 10 years of industry experience.
• 5+ years of project management experience in managing/leading architecture and/or design of SoCs or complex sub-systems – planning project work, driving execution, defining, and tracking KPIs.

• Broad understanding of SOC Architectures including CPU, GPU, Memory sub-systems, AI Accelerators, interconnects, I/O technologies, power management, performance measurement, SOC integration etc.
• Familiarity with end-to-end SOC development flow - micro-architecture techniques, modern validation/verification methodologies, physical design challenges, silicon validation and productization.
• Excellent analytical, written, and verbal interpersonal skills and ability to work as part of a team.
• Ability to analyze and identify the critical issues/risks from a myriad of data and focus on resolving key issues that pose risk to the project.

• Manage by influence in a highly matrixed development environment.
