Advanced Development Engineer, Networking Architecture

NVIDIA's Networking Architecture group is hiring an Advanced Development Engineer for the Networking Architecture team. The team works on early-stage exploration of new technologies, implementing proof-of-concept Architectural concepts, building simulation tools for pre-silicon architecture decisions, and turning open questions into detailed technical findings.

You will run proof-of-concept explorations and contribute to an architectural simulator that develops design choices before silicon. The role involves:

• Implementing proof-of-concept features to assess new technologies, protocols, and architectural approaches
• Contributing to an in-house architecture simulator used for pre-silicon build exploration and modeling
• Collaborating with ASIC architects and R&D to translate architectural decisions into working prototypes
• Documenting proof-of-concept outcomes and helping translate findings into actionable team decisions
• Identifying promising technologies and innovation opportunities aligned with the networking roadmap
• Creating AI and agentic frameworks for the Architecture Group

Requirements include:

• B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering from a leading university (or equivalent experience)
• 3+ years of experience in firmware, embedded systems, drivers, or systems programming
• Strong coding skills and ability to implement from scratch at the proof-of-concept level
• Ability to work independently, reason through ambiguity, and turn experimental results into actionable insights

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience writing firmware or low-level C/C++ code
• Coursework or projects in computer architecture, simulation, or performance modeling
• Intellectual curiosity about how hardware and software meet in the networking stack
• Experience with networking protocols (Ethernet, IP, data-center fabrics)
