SeniorAIArchitect,FoundationModelsandSoCCo-Design

NVIDIA is at the forefront of accelerated computing, AI, and autonomous machines. From generative AI to robotics and self-driving vehicles, our technologies are transforming some of the world’s largest industries. NVIDIA DRIVE™ is redefining autonomous mobility through state-of-the-art AI, high-performance compute, and scalable software-defined architectures. We are looking for a Senior AI Architect to help define the next generation of AI model paradigms for autonomous vehicles and shape how those models co-evolve with NVIDIA’s future embedded SoC architectures. This is a highly strategic role operating at the intersection of frontier AI research, hardware architecture, systems optimization, and autonomous driving. You will work with world-class AI researchers, silicon architects, and AV platform teams to identify the AI workloads that will define the next decade — and ensure NVIDIA platforms are architected to lead them. **What You’ll Be Doing:** * Research and forecast emerging AI model architectures that are expected to shape the future autonomous vehicle stack, including Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, Multimodal foundation models and more. * Drive hardware-software co-design across next-generation AI workloads and NVIDIA embedded SoCs, including GPU, CPU, DLA, memory hierarchy, interconnects, and accelerator subsystems. * Analyze compute, memory, bandwidth, and latency characteristics of sophisticated AI architectures such as transformers, diffusion models, or MoE systems * Develop architectural insights and influence future NVIDIA silicon, IP, and system-level design decisions through deep workload characterization and performance analysis. * Prototype and evaluate emerging model paradigms on NVIDIA DRIVE and embedded AI platforms to validate scalability, efficiency, and deployment feasibility. * Partner closely with AI research, autonomous driving software, compiler, runtime, and hardware architecture teams to align long-term roadmap and platform strate
