Chip Architect jobs in Yokneam

We are seeking a highly motivated Chip Architect to join our team and help shape the future of next-generation high-performance networking. NVIDIA’s next-generation Ethernet and NVL switches are at the core of the world’s most advanced compute clusters — from powering AI factories to scaling NVL-based GPU systems used in training/inferencing of the largest foundation models. As a Chip Architect at NVIDIA, you will play a central role in defining the architecture of these high-bandwidth, low-latency switches. Your work will directly impact how AI supercomputers, hyperscale data centers, and cutting-edge research platforms communicate at scale. You will join a team with a strong track record of first-in-the-world products and help deliver the next leap in networking technology. What You'll Be Doing: • Define the end-to-end architecture and full feature set of next-generation NVL and Ethernet switch chips across all stages of the product lifecycle — from early concept to deployment. • Develop architectural specifications and design guidelines, and drive trade-off analyses across multiple architecture options. • Lead research and exploration of future architectures, including innovation that contributes to patent development. • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams — including other architecture groups, logic design, firmware, system software, and research — to ensure successful execution and integration. • Act as a technical leader and subject matter expert, mentoring others and driving architectural excellence across the organization. ​ ​What We Need to See: • BSc or MSc in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field • 7+ years of proven experience in chip architecture, digital design, or design verification • Solid understanding of digital ASIC design and strong familiarity with the full chip development cycle • System-level thinking — ability to reason across hardware/software boundaries and understand how switch architecture impacts end-to-end performance • Comfortable navigating between RTL, models, and system software to drive architectural clarity ​​Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd: • Deep knowledge of networking and compute systems • Hands-on experience in system architecture across domains such as networking, CPUs, GPUs, or memory subsystems • Background in in-network computing or data-path acceleration ​ NVIDIA has some of the most forward-thinking and talented people in the world working for us. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you. It’s not just technology though! It is our people, some of the brightest in the world, and our company diverse culture make NVIDIA one of the most fun, innovative and dynamic places to work in the world! At the center of NVIDIA's culture are our core values like innovation, excellence and determination and team, that guide us to be the best we can be.

NVIDIA networking unit is a world-leader fast-growing company which supports the most powerful supercomputers in the world. We make outstanding artificial intelligence happen and accelerate Open-AI’s Chat-GPT, for example. We believe in our people and products and seek excellent people to join us! We're looking for a hardware architect for our NIC and DPU division. In this position, as part of a small (~15 employees) elite team, you will have the chance to define the architecture of NVIDIA’s next generation NIC and DPU products. Your role will be cross-disciplinary, working with software, ASIC design, verification, physical design and platform teams to improve performance and debug. What you'll be doing: • Learn and understand the NIC u/architecture thoroughly across all aspects and become a source of information for the design and verification engineers. • Define the next generation NVIDIA systems. Work closely with GPU and CPU teams for building the cut-edge systems. • Define the implementation of the most sophisticated features of our next products, balancing architecture requirements with backend, execution, and design considerations. • Understand our system requirements and help define the POR of our NIC and DPU product line. • Face the most challenging Full-Chip correctness and performance issues, which cannot be handled by the units’ designers as they require full cross-unit understanding of the chip. • Work closely with board and package design to understand the different design limitations: power, di/dt, temperature, signal-integrity etc. • Thoroughly understand SoC flows, PCIe, Ethernet, InfiniBand and NvLink protocols. What we need to see: • B.Sc./M.Sc in Electrical Engineering from a known university • Excellent grades • 5+ years of experience in ASIC design/uarch/arch/performance • At least 4 years of hands on experience in writing Verilog/VHDL or • Strong analytic capabilities, and passion for solving logical issues • Strong debug skills • Ability to drive complex activities involving many interfaces and teams • Good communications skill NVIDIA's architecture teams are among the most technically demanding in the industry. If you're a senior architect who has already started using AI — and wants to institutionalize that change across an entire organization — we want to hear from you.
