Senior SerDes Micro Architect

Join our innovative Mixed-Signal Design group as a SerDes/PHY Micro Architect, and help shape the future of high-speed silicon for next-generation networking and GPU's ASICs. In this strategic role, you will define and refine system-level features and micro-architecture requirements for advanced SerDes and PHY IP, with a special focus on firmware (FW) architecture and CD architecture integration.You will be involved end-to-end—from early requirements through pre-silicon architecture to post-silicon bring-up and customer-facing debug—collaborating closely with design, verification, firmware, hardware, and system teams. Your work will enable cutting-edge technologies such as CPO and NVLink.What You’ll Be Doing:Define system-level features and micro-architecture requirements for SerDes technology, bridging hardware and firmware domains.Align architecture definitions with both FW development and CD implementation flows, ensuring seamless integration across product stages.Translate system and customer requirements into scalable, actionable features for next-generation silicon.Drive and contribute to all silicon development phases: pre-silicon specification, hands-on lab bring-up, validation, debug, and customer support.Collaborate with cross-functional teams across ASIC design, verification, firmware, board engineering, and customer delivery.Lead or contribute to technical reviews, issue root-cause analysis, and architectural methodology improvements.What We Need to See:BSc or MSc in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.8+ years of experience in PHY/SerDes micro-architecture or high-speed silicon development.Strong background in high-speed interfaces (e.g., Ethernet, InfiniBand, NV Link).Proven ability to define system features and participate in hands-on bring-up and validation—spanning firmware and hardware domains.Experience with architecture requirements impacting both firmware flows and CD delivery needs.Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with excellent communication and collaboration capabilities.Knowledge of relevant interface and protocol standards (e.g., IEEE, PCIe).Expertise in defining and integrating SerDes architecture with firmware systems and delivery pipelines.Experience working closely with CD teams to ensure readiness for deployment, debug, and customer use cases.Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:Hands-on experience using lab equipment for signal analysis and post-silicon debug.System-level understanding of architecture spanning RTL, firmware, and validation.Experience in RT FW developmentContributions to breakthrough products leveraging cutting-edge silicon and SerDes technology.NVIDIA is home to some of the world’s most innovative and driven people. We’re not just advancing technology—we’re building the future with a culture rooted in excellence, collaboration, and continuous learning. If you're creative, autonomous, and excited to shape what’s next, we want to hear from you.
