Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead the architectural definition and end-to-end lifecycle of SoCs for Edge AI, robotics, and autonomous driving platforms. Collaborate across teams to optimize hardware for low-latency spatial computing, sensor fusion, and automotive safety standards.
Requires over 15 years of high-performance silicon architecture experience and a Master's or PhD in Computer or Electrical Engineering. Expertise in SoC definition, real-time compute, and high-speed interfaces is essential.
NVIDIA is seeking a Principal SoC Architect to join our architecture team and drive the next generation of Edge AI, Robotics, and Autonomous Driving platforms.
NVIDIA is developing processor and system architectures that power the world’s most advanced autonomous machines—from factory-floor AMRs and humanoids running NVIDIA Isaac, to next-generation software-defined vehicles running NVIDIA DRIVE. In this position, you will own the architectural definition of SoCs that bring together NVIDIA GPUs, world-class computer vision accelerators, and real-time processors into a single silicon fabric. Your role will be inherently cross-disciplinary, bridging the gap between pioneering robotic applications, automotive safety standards, and silicon design.
End-to-End SoC Lifecycle Ownership: Define and drive the hardware architecture from early concept through bring-up and ecosystem enablement.
Robotics & Automotive Co-Design: Collaborate with software, deep learning, and safety teams to co-design hardware feature sets tailored for low-latency robotics spatial computing, sensor fusion, and autonomous driving pipelines.
PPA Modeling & Analysis: Perform rigorous performance, power, and area modeling, optimizing specifically for thermally constrained robotic enclosures and automotive ECUs.
Specification & Modeling: Author high-quality architecture specifications and drive the development of models to validate architectural choices.
Architectural Validation: Define validation plans to ensure hardware meets strict real-time execution and safety metrics.
Post-Silicon & Production Support: Participate in silicon debug, performance tuning, and the generation of user documentation for tier-1 robotics and automotive customers.
Experience: 15+ years of deep architecture design experience in high-performance silicon.
SoC Architecture Expertise: Meaningful industry expertise in top-level SoC definition
Robotics & Automotive I/O: Practical knowledge of high-speed interfaces (PCIe, GMSL/Camera interfaces, Time-Sensitive Networking/TSN).
Advanced Subsystems: Multimedia/vision accelerator pipelines, CPU/GPU cache coherency, Virtualization, and Hardware Security.
Deterministic & Real-Time Compute: Deep understanding of hardware support for real-time operating systems (RTOS), deterministic latency, and mixed-criticality workloads.
Cross-Functional Technical Leadership: Exceptional ability to communicate, negotiate, and solve technical hurdles across all abstraction levels—from micro-architecture to software application layers.
Education: Master’s or PhD degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
Experience in functional safety and building end to end solutions fulfilling safety requirements
A proven background in mapping complex Edge AI workloads (e.g., transformer-based vision models, SLAM, or path planning) directly onto custom hardware architectures.
Advanced programming skills in SystemC, C++, or Python for architectural simulation and modeling.
