Senior SoC Architect – RAS Analysis and Diagnostics

We are now looking for a Senior Hardware Architect for our Tegra System-on-Chips (SoC). Do you want to be a part of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Revolution? Would you like to work with world-class systems architects to define the next generation SoC architecture for Datacenters and Autonomous Vehicles? We are looking for an exceptional SoC architect to lead the architecture and strategy for in-field diagnostic testing to detect hardware failures in our CPUs and SoCs deployed in datacenters, and drive the development, validation, and optimization of such diagnostics. This position offers the opportunity to have real impact in a dynamic, technology-focused company developing state-of-the-art processor and system architectures that are at the forefront of accelerating machine learning, autonomous vehicles, high-performance computing, and edge computing applications. Our SoC architects excel at pushing the state of the art, while making the best engineering trade-offs. What you’ll be doing: Work with RAS Architects to develop architecture and methods to detect faults that develop in our SoCs deployed in datacenters and autonomous vehicles. Work with software, design verification, and silicon validation teams to develop tests that achieve high diagnostic coverage for the design. Assist in Failure Analysis to debug failing parts in the field and develop screens to detect and localize failures. Create Hardware specifications, test plans, and architectural models in System C (where applicable). Planning and Executing Architectural validation plans. Post-Silicon production support with silicon debug and publishing of customer documentation. Follow Industry standards and best practices related to RAS, debuggability, and silicon testing. Patenting novel parts of system architecture. What we need to see: MS or PhD degree in computer or electrical engineering or equivalent experience. At least 8+ years of SoC architecture, design, and/or verification experience. Good understanding of Reliability, Availability, Serviceability (RAS) in the SoC context.
