About the Role

Join NVIDIA's architecture organization as a Distinguished Engineer to define the future of accelerated computing systems, from single processors to multi-die, multi-GPU, and multi-node platforms. You will set long-term performance strategy across applications, systems, and architecture, focusing on architectural direction and application outcomes. Identify data movement, communication, memory behavior, topology, and compute limitations to guide multiple product generations and ensure local improvements yield system-level gains.

Responsibilities

Define the multi-generation strategy for application scaling across DRAM, NVLink, C2C, compute, and the supporting software stack.
Translate application behavior into architectural requirements, performance targets, and investment priorities.
Build a clear view of how bottlenecks shift as workloads scale across dies, GPUs, nodes, model sizes, data sets, and communication patterns.
Evaluate system-level trade-offs across bandwidth, latency, capacity, topology, coherence, power, area, cost, programmability, and resiliency.
Establish common workload scenarios, scaling metrics, models, and decision frameworks for architecture teams.
Identify architectural discontinuities and emerging technology opportunities to shape product and technology decisions.
Align DRAM, NVLink, C2C, GPU, CPU, system, and software architects around shared performance limits and high-value opportunities.
Connect measured behavior with future architecture choices by working with application, framework, compiler, runtime, modeling, and post-silicon teams.
Provide clear recommendations to senior technical and business leaders, including assumptions, sensitivities, risks, and expected impact.
Mentor system performance architects, strengthen technical communities, generate sustained intellectual property, and influence the direction of large-scale accelerated computing.

Requirements

MSEE, MSCE, PhD, or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
18+ years of relevant industry or academic experience, including experience setting architecture direction for complex, high-performance systems.
Deep understanding of system performance and scaling, including interactions among DRAM behavior, high-bandwidth fabrics such as NVLink, and C2C communication.
Strong application-level intuition, including the ability to connect workload algorithms, parallelism, communication, locality, and data movement to architecture choices and measurable outcomes.
Experience with workload characterization, analytical or simulation-based performance modeling, bottleneck analysis, and architecture trade-off evaluation.
A record of identifying cross-domain opportunities not visible when teams optimize individual components separately.
Demonstrated ability to create and advance a multi-generation technical strategy through influence across silicon, systems, software, and application teams.
Clear communication and sound judgment in ambiguous technical areas, with the ability to explain complex system trade-offs to specialists and executive leaders.
Experience mentoring senior engineers into broader architecture leadership roles and building strong technical communities.
