Deep understanding of modern DRAM technologies (e.g., DDR, LPDDR, GDDR, HBM) and non-volatile memories (e.g., NAND flash, managed NAND/SSD), including key tradeoffs in bandwidth, latency, power, capacity, packaging, and reliability. * Proven experience working directly with memory vendors on product definition, bring-up, or co-development, and familiarity with how large-scale customers influence vendor roadmaps. * Solid background in SoC and system memory subsystems, including memory controllers, PHYs, signal integrity, power delivery, and how memory choices impact overall SoC and platform performance and power. * Demonstrated ability to perform competitive analysis, including interpreting teardown data, benchmarking memory bandwidth/latency, and drawing clear architectural conclusions and recommendations. * Strong communication and presentation skills, with experience representing technical positions in vendor meetings, technical reviews, and multi-functional internal reviews. Ability to work across functions (architecture, design, systems, sourcing, operations) and regions, driving alignment and decisions without direct authority. Ways to stand out from the crowd: * Direct experience defining or architecting HBM, GDDR, or high-speed LPDDR solutions for GPUs, AI accelerators, or high-performance SoCs. * Hands-on work with advanced packaging (e.g., 2.5D/3D, CoWoS, multi-chip modules) involving high-bandwidth memory interfaces. * Prior ownership of memory-related driven teardowns or benchmarking programs, with clear examples of how results influenced product or technology direction. * Established relationships with major memory vendors and a history of successful roadmap or co-development engagements. ## Description NVIDIA's SoC Product Architecture team defines the platforms that power AI, graphics, and accelerated computing across data center, automotive, client, and edge products. As a Senior SoC Product Architect, Memory Ecosystem, you will drive NVIDIA's external memory ecosystem across DRAM and non-volatile flash, working with major memory vendors to align roadmaps, co-innovate new technologies, and ensure our SoC portfolio delivers industry-leading bandwidth, latency, power, and cost. What you'll be doing: * Partner with all major memory vendors to understand their technology and product roadmaps (e.g., DDR/LPDDR, GDDR, HBM, NAND, emerging NVM) and align them with NVIDIA's SoC and platform roadmaps. * Steer vendor roadmaps by articulating NVIDIA's performance, power, capacity, form-factor, and reliability requirements, translating SoC and system needs into clear, data-driven feedback and requests. * Innovate new DRAM solutions in collaboration with vendors, exploring novel architectures, signaling, packaging, and power-management techniques to meet the bandwidth, latency, and power requirements of future NVIDIA SoCs and systems. * Work closely with SoC architects, memory controller designers, and board/system teams to co-optimize SoC + memory subsystem architecture, including channel topologies, speed grades, rank/stack configurations, and error-management strategies. * Represent NVIDIA at regular vendor technical reviews and key technical/roadmap meetings, presenting consolidated SoC roadmap needs, performance data, and proposals, and driving clear follow-ups and decisions. * Collaborate with sourcing, operations, substrate and PCB design, and quality teams to factor supply, cost, and reliability considerations into memory technology choices and long-term ecosystem strategy. ## Related Videos - [Agent Smith Gets Hardware: Autonomous IoT Hacking From Debug Port to Cloud API](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100258-agent-smith-gets-hardware-autonomous-iot-hacking-from-debug-port-to-cloud-api) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Swapping Low Latency Data Storage Under High Load](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/746-swapping-low-latency-data-storage-under-high-load) - [Solving AI Amnesia: Building "Infinite Memory" for Agents without the RAM](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1961-solving-ai-amnesia-building-infinite-memory-for-agents-without-the-ram) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) - [Coffee with Developers - Stephen Jones - NVIDIA](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1303-coffee-with-developers-stephen-jones-nvidia) ## Related Articles - [Everything a Developer Needs to Know About MCP with Neo4j](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/604-everything-a-developer-needs-to-know-about-mcp-with-neo4j) - [Introducing Redis Agent Memory Server](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/699-introducing-redis-agent-memory-server) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 129 - Now that's what I call private data!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/468-dev-digest-129-now-that-s-what-i-call-private-data) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering)
