Advanced Development Engineer, Networking Architecture

Overview

• NVIDIA's Networking Architecture group is hiring an Architect for the Advanced Development team.
• The team works on early-stage exploration of new technologies - implementing proof-of-concept Architectural concepts, building simulation tools for pre-silicon architecture decisions, and turning open questions into detailed technical findings.
• You will run proof-of-concept explorations and contribute to an architectural simulator that develops design choices before silicon.
• At NVIDIA, we are at the forefront of innovation, leading the way in computer graphics, AI, and accelerated computing.
• Our collaborative environment, combined with ambitious goals, will enable you to work closely with ASIC and software teams to pioneer innovative solutions.
• What you will be doing: Implement proof-of-concept features to assess new technologies, protocols, and architectural approaches Contribute to an in-house architecture simulator used for pre-silicon build exploration and modeling Collaborate with ASIC architects and R&D to translate architectural decisions into working prototypes Document proof-of-concept outcomes and help translate findings into actionable team decisions Identify promising technologies and innovation opportunities aligned with our networking roadmap Creating AI and agentic frameworks for Architecture Group If you love turning open-ended technical questions into real, working code — this is the role for you! What we need to see: Hold a B.Sc.
• in Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering from a leading university (or equivalent experience) 3+ years of experience in firmware, embedded systems, drivers or systems programming Strong coding skills and ability to implement from scratch at the proof-of-concept level or with equivalent experience Ability to work independently, reason through ambiguity, and turn experimental results into actionable insights Ways to stand out from the crowd: Experience writing firmware or low-level C/C++ code Coursework or projects in computer architecture, simulation, or performance modeling Intellectual curiosity about how hardware and software meet in the networking stack Experience with networking protocols (Ethernet, IP, data-center fabrics) If you are creative, autonomous, and love a challenge, we want to hear from you! Join NVIDIA and be a part of the team that is driving the future of technology.
