## Description

We are now looking for a Senior Architect for GPUs and SoCs:

The NVIDIA Architecture Modelling group is looking for architects and software developers to join our various architecture efforts. A key part of NVIDIA's strength is to innovate in the graphics and parallel computing fields, delivering the highest performance in the world for high-performance computing. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our GPU architecture and maintain our leadership. In this position, you will be working with other world-class architects on modeling, analysis and validation of chip architectures and features that advance the state of art in performance and efficiency.

What you'll be doing:

 * Modeling and analysis of graphics and / or SOC algorithms and features
 * Work in a matrixed environment, across the different modelling teams, to document, design, develop tools to analyze and simulate, validate, and verify models
 * Familiarize with the different models (functional and performance) that are used at Nvidia and help with feature implementation as required.
 * Develop tests, test plans, and testing infrastructure for new architectures/features.
 * Code coverage analysis and reporting
 * Mentor younger engineers and help sustain good coding practices.
 * Learn about newer modelling techniques and frameworks, evaluate the best solution for our needs and work with your manager to drive the change
 * Help develop AI based tools to increase efficiency.
