Design Engineer, Coherent High Speed Interconnect

Job Title

Design Engineer, Coherent High Speed Interconnect

Role Summary

Engineer responsible for architecture and RTL implementation of NVIDIA's NVLINK-C2C high-speed coherent interconnect used in mobile SoCs and GPUs. Work spans system architecture, IP design, performance and power optimization, and cross-functional integration with partners and internal teams.

This role directly contributes to chiplet-based interconnects that enable coherent connectivity across GPUs, DPUs, and CPUs.

Experience Level

Mid-level (posting references senior experience but does not state explicit years). Candidates should have multiple years of RTL/interconnect design experience.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include technical design, collaboration, and optimization of high-speed coherent interconnect IP.

• Architect and design high-speed coherent interconnects (NVLINK-C2C) for SoCs and GPUs.
• Develop, review, and maintain RTL implementations using Verilog/SystemVerilog.
• Collaborate with architects, external partners, software engineers, and circuit designers to deliver IP and ensure system integration.
• Perform performance analysis, trade-offs, and power optimization against system constraints.
• Integrate and validate designs to meet features and requirements.
• Provide technical guidance and mentor junior engineers when applicable.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for the role; items labeled "Nice-to-have" are preferred but not required.

• Must-have: Relevant design experience in architecture, RTL design, performance analysis, and power optimization.
• Must-have: Strong working knowledge of Verilog or SystemVerilog.
• Must-have: Knowledge of industry interconnect protocols such as PCIe, CXL, AXI, CHI.
• Must-have: Good communication and interpersonal skills.
• Nice-to-have: History of mentoring junior engineers and interns.

Education Requirements

BS (or equivalent practical experience) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field is required. Master’s or PhD is preferred. No specific certifications were listed.
