Senior Datacenter Power Systems Modeling Engineer

NVIDIA•Santa Clara, CA

7d•$168,000 - $322,000

About The Position

The Senior Datacenter Power Systems Modeling Engineer leads cross-functional execution and modeling for data-center power-delivery programs. The role owns rack-level architecture definition and involvement, end-to-end power modeling and simulation for advanced data-center power and energy schemes, and management of power shelves, busbars, and cable vendors. The engineer supports successful delivery of power-related engineering programs through modeling and simulation, coordinating with power architects, power validation, firmware and mechanical teams, and suppliers. The role leads programs involving power shelves, BBU/CBU, busbars, and other rack-level power components; drives modeling and simulation to guide and optimize designs; manages technical risks and validation strategy; and communicates program status, risks, and escalations to leadership. It translates architecture requirements into milestones and evaluates trade-offs among efficiency, reliability, thermal limits, and manufacturability. The position requires a master’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience, and 10 or more years of experience. NVIDIA offers equity and benefits. Applications will be accepted at least until November 3, 2026. This posting is for an existing vacancy.

Requirements

Master’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
10+ years of experience.
Familiarity with simulation and modeling tools such as SIMPLIS, PowerSI/DC, SPICE, PLECS, Q3D, and related tools.
Ability to drive highly technical programs from concept to production through modeling and simulation.
Experience working with PSU/PSC or other power-electric vendors.
Strong technical communication and documentation skills.

Nice To Haves

Experience working on high-density AI/GPU server platforms.
Strong ability to use modeling and simulation tools to solve complex power problems.
Background in power electronics, PSU/DCDC design, or high-current power-delivery simulation.
Strong familiarity with data-center power infrastructure and deep knowledge of PSU control behavior.
Ability to influence architecture decisions and drive long-term strategies for next-generation power systems.

Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end execution for data-center power architecture programs, including Power Shelf, BBU/CBU, busbars, and other rack-level power components.
Drive end-to-end modeling and simulation to guide and optimize designs.
Drive fast and effective failure analysis, including root-cause analysis and correlation actions.
Own technical risk management, validation strategy, and cross-functional alignment across architecture, validation, mechanical, compliance, firmware, and suppliers.
Translate power-architecture requirements into clear milestones and identify engineering trade-offs involving efficiency, reliability, thermal limits, and manufacturability.
Manage PSU and rack-power vendors, support bring-up, and close failure-analysis cycles.
Communicate program status, risks, and escalations to leadership.
