Senior Memory Subsystem Architect
NVIDIAJob Title
Senior Memory Subsystem Architect
Role Summary
Design and optimize memory subsystem architecture for SoC platforms, focusing on performance, power, area, and complexity trade-offs. Work with architecture, RTL, software, verification, and product teams to define and validate memory system solutions for data center, autonomous, AI, and graphics products.
Primary activities include performance modeling, micro-architecture design, benchmark analysis, and debugging across models, RTL, and silicon.
Experience Level
Senior-level. The role expects approximately 4+ years of relevant SoC architecture and development experience.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include:
- Define architecture and micro-architecture for memory subsystems to optimize performance, power, area, and implementation effort.
- Develop and run performance models and simulations to evaluate features and early design tradeoffs.
- Implement and maintain high-level performance and functional models.
- Analyze benchmarks and workload behavior to guide micro-architectural optimizations.
- Debug performance and functional issues using models, RTL simulation, and silicon validation.
- Collaborate with ASIC design, verification, software, product, and marketing teams to deliver integrated solutions.
Requirements
Must-have qualifications and skills:
- 4+ years of experience in SoC architecture or development with focus on one or more of: MMU/address translation, memory caching, interconnects, DRAM controllers.
- Proven ability to develop and use performance models for architecture analysis (preferred as nice-to-have if not primary).
- Strong analytical skills for performance (bandwidth/latency) and quality-of-service tradeoffs.
- Effective verbal and written communication; ability to work in distributed, product-focused teams.
Education Requirements
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
