Key details
Why this role is notable
NVIDIA is building its own in-house RISC-V CPU cores for its GPUs and Tegra SoCs, a sign it wants to reduce dependence on licensed Arm designs and own more of the stack from silicon up.
Job Description
NVIDIA is looking for creative CPU architect to join us in architecting world class RISC-V based micro-processor.
We are a team responsible for building world-class RISC-V based embedded CPU for NVIDIA GPU and Tegra SOC.
As a senior CPU architect for the micro-processor IP team, you will focus on the architecture definition of the RISC-V based CPU, you will work with system software teams and system architects, to understand use case requirements, architecture definitions, to build micro-architecture to fulfill all architecture requirements, to improve the performance, power efficiency of the CPU, to deliver bug-free CPU to both GPU and Tegra SOC, help bringing NVIDIA products to another level. You will be able to work with world-class CPU architects in the industry to develop in-house instruction set extensions.
What you'll be doing:
- Work with CPU architects, to define architecture/micro architecture for next generation of in-house RISC-V CPU
- Explore solutions to improve performance, power efficiency
- To build the design, make sure it meets all requirements, and deliver to CPU to users
What we need to see:
- BS / MS in electrical / computer engineering and related or equivalent experience.
- 3+ years with MS or 5+ years with BS working experience on design of CPU/DSP/Vector processor or related area
- Familiar with at least one CPU architecture (ARM, RISC-V, x86, Power, MIPS)
- Deep understanding in Verilog
- Bachelors, masters, or PhDs of computer science, electronics engineering, and relevant or equivalent majors are welcome.
