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 harnessing the boundless possibilities of AI to build the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Accomplishing unprecedented goals calls for imagination, inventiveness, and exceptional talent from around the world. As a NVIDIAN, you'll be immersed in a diverse, encouraging environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Join our team and discover how you can build a lasting impact on the world. NVIDIA's Silicon Co-Design Group (SCG) leads the full product development lifecycle, from early architecture definition through silicon bringup to product release. The ArchDev team is the hub for silicon and system-level feature development, driving tradeoff analysis, system integration, and POR alignment across the entire organization. This is where ideas become chips, and chips become products that define the state of the art — and we're building that future with some of the most motivated engineers in the industry. We're looking for a Senior Memory Systems Engineer to own HBM and LPDDR integration in sophisticated SoCs. This role covers the full stack, including silicon, package, embedded software, testing, and product development. The engineer will resolve the toughest system-level memory challenges throughout the process, building solutions that hold up at scale. What you'll be doing: HBM & LPDDR System Integration and Bringup: Drive HBM and LPDDR system integration, bringup, characterization, and debug for next-generation SoCs — taking memory subsystems through the full arc from first silicon to production-ready at scale. Full-Stack Memory Closure: <s
Define the physical limits of what a chip can do, then break them! NVIDIA's Silicon Co-Design Group sits at the crossroads of architecture, silicon, systems, and manufacturing, where first principles thinking translates directly into product outcomes at scale. As GPU power density and thermal limits approach physical boundaries, the gap between system architecture needs and manufacturable, testable capabilities widens with every generation, and this role exists to close it. You wouldn't be maintaining existing solutions, you'd be identifying where physical constraints will erode NVIDIA's competitive edge before anyone else sees it coming, then building the cross-domain responses that ensure the next generation leapfrogs those limits entirely. The problems here don't have known answers yet: Every generation of NVIDIA silicon pushes closer to the limits of physics. The Co-Design Architect role isn't about optimizing within known bounds; it's about redrawing those bounds entirely. If you want your work to shape what's physically possible in the world's most demanding computing products, this is where that work happens. What you'll be doing: Power, Thermal & Packaging Limits Analysis: Gather and analyze the hard constraints of packaging, power delivery, and thermal dissipation against roadmap demands, predicting when those constraints will reduce competitiveness and acting before they do. Cross-Domain Solution Development: Develop solutions that span silicon features, packaging innovation, firmware and hardware co-design, and DFX updates, ensuring future products are not only performant but testable to the highest quality and reliability standards. Packaging Technology Evaluation: Assess emerging packaging technologies for their voltage/frequency, noise, reliability, and testability implications, determining which are worth adopting an

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior System Architect: Heterogeneous EDA Systems to solve a complex challenge in accelerated computing: Failure Attribution at Scale. As EDA or equivalent experience workloads scale across thousands of heterogeneous nodes, a single failure can cause massive resource waste. We need an engineer to develop and build an automated framework. This framework will ingest telemetry from CPU and GPU clusters to identify the root cause of job failures in real-time. It will distinguish between hardware faults, infrastructure instability, and software defects. What you'll be doing: Architect Failure Attribution Frameworks: Build a scalable "flight recorder" for EDA jobs that captures high-fidelity state across the CPU, GPU, and Fabric at the moment of failure. Build automated diagnostics that correlate GPU XID errors, PCIe bus failures, and CUDA memory exceptions. Connect these errors with system-level events such as OOM kills or NUMA-related hangs. Distributed Logging & Tracing: Implement low-overhead tracing mechanisms (using tracing tools or custom agents) that provide access to job execution across multi-node Slurm or Kubernetes clusters. Root Cause Automation: Develop heuristics and models based on machine learning to classify failures as "Hardware Fault," "Software Bug," or "Environment Issue." This reduces the Mean Time to Identify (MTTI) for R&D teams. Resiliency Engineering: Work closely with hardware and infrastructure teams to define "signals of impending failure," enabling proactive job migration or check-pointing before a crash occurs. What we need to see: Distributed Systems Mastery: BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience) with 6+ years in systems programming. Experience building automated
