Distinguished Engineer - Data Center System SoftwareArchitect

NVIDIA data center systems, such as DGX and

HGX, have become core to NVIDIA's rapidly growing

enterprise and cloud provider businesses. These platforms bring

together the full power of NVIDIA GPUs, NVIDIA NVLink, NVIDIA

InfiniBand networking, NVIDIA Grace CPUs, and a fully optimized

NVIDIA AI and HPC software stack. We’re looking for a strong

technical architect to own the end-to-end architecture of these

products, at the system software level.

Including firmware, kernel drivers, operating systems, and user

mode drivers. You will work with component leads internally and

engage with industry leading cloud service providers on taking

these products to market.

What you’ll be

doing : Serve as

the primary technical point of contact for major customers, leading

technological discussions, defining KPIs, gathering requirements,

and addressing complex technical queries.

As a system software

architect, lead technical innovation and strategic collaborations

with major hyperscalers to architect next-generation data center

products.

Align

NVIDIA's roadmap with major customers' requirements

through direct engagement.

Develop and drive adoption of new technologies and protocols.

Make critical technical

decisions in ambiguous situations, mitigating risks through

left-shift strategies.

What we need to see :

Deep expertise in

scalable and performant server system architecture, focusing on

SW / HW interfaces.
