Power and Performance Engineer - System Memory

Nvidia • Santa Clara, CA

89d • $168,000 - $310,500

About The Position

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a 'learning machine' that constantly evolves by adapting to new challenges that are hard to tackle, that only we can pursue, and that matter to the world. This is our life's work to amplify human inventiveness and intelligence. Choose to join us today. NVIDIA Silicon Solutions Group seeks a hardworking engineer to join a silicon HW team. As a team member, you will develop and validate system-level features with a deep understanding of product needs that will be delivered to notebook, desktop, embedded, automotive, and professional solution markets. Prior experience in the lab with system-level post-silicon bring-up and debug is highly desired.

Requirements

• BS or MS degree in EE/CE or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of experience in memory subsystem architecture, design, and validation, with a strong focus on system-level features that optimize memory power for perf-per-watt efficiency in datacenter or high-perf systems.
• Strong fundamentals in EE, digital/analog design, signal integrity, low power design, memory power management techniques, timing analysis, and architecture.
• Deep understanding of how system-level memory interacts with different IPs and SW/FW, including their impact on power, latency, and reliability.
• Experience with control systems, boot/reset flows, and memory controller micro-architecture.
• Validated hands-on lab experience with silicon bringup, lab debug, and lab tools (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers).
• Excellent problem-solving, teamwork, and interpersonal skills.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Python, Perl, C/C++, Windows, and Linux.

Responsibilities

• Build roadmaps of memory system-level features to address low power, low noise, perf/watt efficient, and stable/reliable product needs by doing prototyping, use case analysis, and system-level cost/benefit tradeoff.
• Architect, design, and integrate memory system-level features, controllers, and policies - including binning, pairing, and adaptive control techniques based on the roadmap to optimize product performance, power, and reliability/stability.
• Collaborate with architecture, ASIC, board/platform design, software/firmware, marketing, and other multi-functional teams to drive architecture, design, and debug.
• Expand power improvement initiatives to cover various products and market segments, including high-demand environments such as data centers.
• Drive scalable, power-efficient, and reliable memory system solutions across diverse platforms.
• Keep track of the latest industry direction, market needs, and technology development; incorporate them into future roadmaps to build more competitive products.
• Lead debug, craft WARs, and support bringup, validation, manufacturing, and customer issues on relevant features.

Benefits

• Equity and benefits.
