Architect, GPU Performance at NVIDIA (Bengaluru)

Job Description

NVIDIA is hiring an Architect for GPU performance in Bengaluru to analyse and improve the system-level performance of its GPUs and systems-on-chip, using performance models, RTL test benches, emulators and silicon to find bottlenecks and inform architecture decisions.

At a glance

• Role: Architect – GPU Performance
• Location: Bengaluru
• Experience: 3+ years in performance analysis of SoC or GPU architectures
• Focus: system-level performance analysis, workloads and performance modelling
• Requisition: JR2017247
• Apply: open until filled (re-checked 12 October 2026)

What you will do

• Analyse system-level performance and bottlenecks of complex GPUs and SoCs
• Use performance models, RTL test benches, emulators and silicon to find and explain bottlenecks
• Develop workloads and test suites for graphics, machine learning, automotive, video and computer-vision use cases
• Explore architecture trade-offs in performance, area and power with architecture and design teams
• Build performance models, testbench components, and analysis and visualisation tools
• Drive methods that shorten turnaround time and enable earlier performance analysis

Performance architecture sits between chip research and product design: engineers build models of hardware that does not exist yet, run realistic graphics, machine-learning, automotive, video and vision workloads on them, and feed the results back into trade-offs between speed, area and power. It suits people who enjoy computer architecture, simulation and data analysis.

What NVIDIA is looking for

• A BE/BTech or MS/MTech in a relevant area, or equivalent experience (a PhD is a plus)
• 3+ years with performance analysis and complex SoC or GPU architectures
• Strong understanding of SoC architecture, the graphics pipeline, memory subsystems and network-on-chip interconnects
• Expert C/C++ and scripting in Perl or Python (Verilog/SystemVerilog or SystemC/TLM a strong plus)
• Strong debugging and statistical analysis skills, including using RTL dumps
• Experience building performance simulators or cycle-accurate/approximate models (a strong plus)
