NVIDIAJob Title
GPU System and Scheduling Architect - New College Grad 2026
Role Summary
Design and architect the GPU system interface and scheduling features as a member of the GPU architecture team. Collaborate with hardware, software, and verification teams to define and validate next-generation GPU functionality and performance.
Work includes creating functional and performance models (often in C++), developing test plans, and supporting post-silicon validation.
Experience Level
Entry-level — New college graduate (recent BS/MS/PhD) or equivalent experience; suitable for early-career engineers.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include system architecture, feature planning, modeling, and validation.
- Analyze GPU sub-system module interactions and their integration with the overall system.
- Architect and plan features in coordination with software, hardware, and verification teams.
- Develop functional and performance models (commonly in C++), and produce test plans to validate designs.
- Support post-silicon validation and debug activities.
- Continuously learn and iterate on design and validation approaches.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience.
- Strong coding proficiency in C or C++.
- Exposure to post-silicon validation activities and debug.
- Ability to work cross-functionally with hardware, firmware, software, and verification teams.
- Good analytical and modeling skills for performance and functional validation.
Nice-to-have:
- Knowledge of memory isolation and security, firmware, process scheduling, graphics APIs (OpenGL, DirectX), CUDA, DL/ML concepts, PCIe, AXI, NVLink, and/or CXL.
- Experience with scripting languages such as Perl or Python.
Education Requirements
Recently completed a BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Architecture, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related degree — or equivalent practical experience. Course work or industry experience in computer architecture, operating systems, and system architecture is expected.
