NVIDIA•Santa Clara, CA

7d•$136,000 - $258,750

About The Position

NVIDIA is seeking motivated System Power Validation Engineers to work with its team on system power validation for NVIDIA products. The role involves system- and board-level debug and validation across products including GPU cards, MGX servers, automotive, robotics, industrial PCs, and consumer electronics, helping ensure products meet quality standards. The engineer will manage power bring-up and debug, collaborate with power vendors, develop and simulate test platforms, support future product and power-solution roadmaps, and contribute to new validation procedures. The position works closely with design, validation, system, silicon, thermal, and mechanical teams, as well as vendors, to identify root causes and resolve issues.

Requirements

Bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD degree in Power Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
At least 5 years of related experience in power validation.
Understanding of power-electronics fundamentals, including closed-loop control, 48V topologies, multiphase regulators, high-power-density architecture, power-distribution-network impedance analysis, power devices, and power management.
Technical knowledge of telemetry and protection management, design for debugging, security, safety and reliability, and failure analysis.
Experience with power-circuit design, magnetics, modeling, failure analysis, performance analysis, bring-up, debugging, and verification.
Proficiency in programming and scripting languages, including C/C++ and JavaScript, and in Linux.
Proficiency with development and simulation tools, lab-equipment setup, and fixing skills.
Team-oriented demeanor, a can-do attitude, and enthusiasm for solving multidisciplinary challenges in fast-paced, layered environments.
Good verbal and written communication skills; organization; and effectiveness working with management, collaborators, peers, suppliers, and customers.
Strong leadership, facilitation, problem-solving, cross-disciplinary, and program-management skills.

Responsibilities

Perform system- and board-level debugging and validation of NVIDIA products, including GPU cards, MGX servers, automotive, robotics, industrial PC, and consumer electronics products.
Manage and complete system power bring-up and debugging processes.
Collaborate with power vendors to resolve issues and improve power solutions.
Develop and simulate power-solution test platforms.
Support improvements to future products and power-solution roadmaps.
Work with design, validation, system design, system validation, silicon design, thermal/mechanical design teams, and vendors to root-cause bugs and issues.
Contribute to the development of new power-validation procedures.
