Join NVIDIA's GPU memory architecture team and help define the DRAM and memory architecture of our Innovative silicon and systems across many domains. As a Distinguished Engineer, you'll develop the long-term technical strategy for Memory architecture including DRAM interfaces, SRAM requirements. This role impacts datacenter GPUs, GeForce and client products, automotive (DRIVE), robotics (Jetson, Isaac), and the broader edge-AI portfolio. We would lean on you to drive encompassing hardware, software interfaces, and micro-architectural considerations, to deliver significant application-level benefits. This role suits a recognized expert who has personally crafted the Memory architecture of multiple successful silicon generations and is ready to own the next decade of perf/watt advancement at NVIDIA. This is your chance to join a company that continually expands the possibilities of technology and innovation!
What you'll be doing:
-
Set multi-generation, cross-portfolio Memory interface strategy.
