We are seeking a GPU System Architect who will architect and design multi-GPU scale-up and scale-out systems for next-generation datacenter platforms for AI and HPC. The architect in this role will explore and define system architectures that tightly couple GPU compute, high-bandwidth memory, in-package interconnects and GPU-to-GPU communication fabric subsystems to deliver industry-leading AI performance, scalability and resilience. The ideal candidate combines deep hands-on system-level fabric/networking architecture experience, and practical hardware-software co-design expertise.
What You Will Be Doing
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until May 11, 2026.
This posting is for an existing vacancy.
NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.
NVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer. As we highly value diversity in our current and future employees, we do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status or any other characteristic protected by law.

What You Will Be Doing
- Architect multi-GPU system topologies for scale-up and scale-out configurations, balancing AI throughput, scalability, and resilience.
- Define, modify and evaluate future architectures for high-speed interconnects such as NVLink and Ethernet co-designed with the GPU memory system.
- Collaborate with other teams to architect RDMA-capable hardware and define transport layer optimizations for GPU-based large scale AI workload deployments.
- Use and modify system models, perform simulations and bottleneck analyses to guide design trade-offs.
- Work with GPU ASIC, compiler, library and software stack teams to enable efficient hardware-software co-design across compute, memory, and communication layers.
- Contribute to interposer, package, PCB and switch co-design for novel high-density multi-die, multi-package, multi-node rack-scale systems consisting of hundreds of GPUs.
- BS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- 8 years or more of relevant experience in system design and/or ASIC/SoC architecture for GPU, CPU or networking products.
- Deep understanding of communication interconnect protocols such as NVLink, Ethernet, InfiniBand, CXL and PCIe.
- Experience with RDMA/RoCE or InfiniBand transport offload architectures.
- Proven ability to architect multi-GPU/multi-CPU topologies, with awareness of bandwidth scaling, NUMA, memory models, coherency and resilience.
- Experience with hardware-software interaction, drivers and runtimes, and performance tuning for modern distributed computing systems.
- Strong analytical and system modeling skills (Python, SystemC, or similar).
- Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills with silicon, packaging, board, and software teams.
- Background in system design for AI and HPC.
- Experience with NICs or DPU architecture and other transport offload engines.
- Expertise in chiplet interconnect architectures or multi-node fabrics and protocols for distributed computing.
- Hands-on experience with interposer or 2.5D/3D package co-design.
