SoC Product Architect Low Power SoC

About the role

NVIDIA is seeking a senior SoC/Product Architect to define and drive the architecture of next-generation low-power SoCs. This role involves defining the architecture for low-power platforms, balancing power, performance, and area, and working closely with CPU, GPU, memory, and IO teams to resolve system-level trade-offs.

Responsibilities

• Define SoC architecture for low-power platforms — CPU, GPU, memory subsystem, low-power IOs, and power management
• Drive concept-level PPA trade-off analysis and lead the power/performance budget across the SoC
• Architect the memory subsystem (LPDDR5/6, on-chip SRAM, bandwidth, QoS) for constrained power envelopes
• Work with DL teams for evaluating and crafting workloads for low power — mapping tasks to constrained hardware; define optimization opportunities in partnership with Nvidia’s DL team
• Partner with CPU, GPU, and IO architecture teams inside NVIDIA to align on shared IPs and integration strategies
• Translate customer requirements into architectural constraints; drive PRD development and requirements triage
• Engage directly with customers pre-silicon to collect feedback and follow through on product decisions

Requirements

• 12+ years in SoC or product architecture, with deep hands-on knowledge of CPU, GPU, memory, and low-power IO subsystems
• Master's Degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
• Strong understanding of SoC architecture for low power mobile devices, including DVFS, power domains, and retention strategies
• Experience with DL inference at the edge (TensorRT, TFLite, ONNX) and mapping workloads to constrained hardware
• Track record of driving architecture decisions across multi-functional teams in a large organization

Qualifications

• Experience with AI and machine learning technologies
• Experience with low-power design and power management techniques
• Experience with memory subsystem design and optimization
• Experience with CPU, GPU, and IO architecture

Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
