NVIDIAJob Title
GPU PCIe and Boot Architect - New College Grad 2027
Role Summary
Design the architecture and infrastructure for GPU boot, PCIe/CXL enumeration, and capability discovery as a member of the GPU architecture team. Collaborate with hardware, software, and verification teams to define features and validate their implementation.
This role produces functional and performance models (often in C++), defines test plans, and supports post-silicon validation for next-generation GPUs.
Experience Level
Entry-level / New college graduate (recent BS or MS recipients) or equivalent practical experience.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities for the role include:
- Architect boot flows, PCIe/CXL enumeration, and capability discovery for GPU subsystems.
- Understand and document interactions between GPU sub-system modules and overall system behavior.
- Plan features and coordinate implementation with software, hardware, and verification teams across locations.
- Create functional and performance models (commonly in C++), and develop test plans to validate designs.
- Support post-silicon bring-up and validation activities, including diagnostics and performance validation.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience; nice-to-have items follow.
Must-have:
- Strong proficiency in C++; prior project or internship experience preferred.
- Experience with hardware-software interactions and system-level behavior.
- Experience building software models, diagnostic tests, and directed functional and performance tests.
- Ability to write test plans and participate in validation activities.
Nice-to-have:
- Knowledge of advanced interconnects (PCIe, AXI, NVLink, or similar).
- Experience with scripting languages (for example, Perl or Python).
- Familiarity with modern security constructs and encryption.
- Knowledge of RISC-V architecture and microcode development.
Education Requirements
Pursuing or recently completed a BS or MS in Computer Architecture, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience. Relevant coursework includes computer architecture, operating systems, and system architecture.
