Ways to stand out from the crowd: + Passion to collaborate and build outstanding platforms with an out-of-the-box view. A go-getter demeanor to investigate and understand technical requirements. ## Description NVIDIA is looking for an individual technical architect to lead and deliver overall Platform implementation using the most innovative elements available. Enable smooth interaction, interception, and development of a Reference and Form Factor Blueprint working internally with Platform and Si Architects. Frequent discussion with partners may be needed to agree on goals. You will deliver reference Blueprint specifications to product management, drive SW benchmarking process, align Power and Perf Benchmarking with business teams. Lead platform differentiation and implement configurable Platform features related to CPU, Power & Perf, Thermal Controls, power delivery, and Battery life improvements in various gaming & collaboration modes. Leads & specifies preferred power delivery & thermal cooling solutions along with driving board-level component analysis (components/power/thermal/VRs). Conducts Driven Spec Analysis between various OEMs reference blueprint implementation styles along with cost. Collaborates with internal and external engineers to influence all Board Support Package and Reference Blueprints incorporating all feedback from internal/external partners. What you'll be doing: + Drive end-to-end platform architecture and implementation + Enable smooth definition, interception, and execution of reference builds and form-factor builds in close collaboration with internal Platform Architects and Silicon Architects. + Act as the technical interface to OEMs and ODM and engage frequently with OEM/ODM representatives to align platform build choices, performance targets, and implementation constraints. + Define and deliver reference build specifications + Produce and hand off detailed reference framework specifications to Product Management and downstream teams to support product planning and execution. + Lead software, power, and performance benchmarking and lead software benchmarking initiatives and coordinate power and performance benchmarking activities with business units and OEM/ODM engineering partners. + Enable platform differentiation through configurable features + Plan and develop customizable platform functionalities involving CPU behavior, power management, performance tuning, power delivery, and battery-life optimization for different usage modes (e.g., gaming and collaboration). + Define power delivery solutions, components and power analysis. + Analyze and compare OEM reference build implementations, focusing on architectural choices, differentiation strategies, and cost implications. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) - [Practical performance tuning for Serverless Java on AWS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2075-practical-performance-tuning-for-serverless-java-on-aws) - [Coffee with Developers - Stephen Jones - NVIDIA](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1303-coffee-with-developers-stephen-jones-nvidia) - [Discover the open source trio you didn’t expect: .NET and PostgreSQL on Linux](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2042-discover-the-open-source-trio-you-didn-t-expect-net-and-postgresql-on-linux) - [Accelerating Python on GPUs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/859-accelerating-python-on-gpus) ## 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) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Top 6 Hackathons for Developers in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/263-top-6-hackathons-for-developers-in-2023) - [Stephan Gillich - Bringing AI Everywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/489-stephan-gillich-bringing-ai-everywhere) - [MLOps – What’s the deal behind it?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/125-mlops-what-s-the-deal-behind-it)
