If you're a creative and autonomous engineer with a real passion for technology, we want to hear from you!
Requirements
- BS or MS in EE/CE (or equivalent experience) with 8+ years in silicon power architecture, system-level design, validation, and power/performance optimization.
- Strong EE fundamentals: digital design, low power design, DVFS, control systems, power management, timing, and architecture.
- Solid understanding of firmware/driver structures and HW/SW interaction.
- Programming proficiency in C/C++, Python, or Perl in Windows/Linux environments.
- Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills.
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with clocking, boot/reset flows, and system architecture is a plus.
- Hands-on lab experience (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers) and silicon bringup exposure are a bonus.
- Demonstrated cross-functional leadership — experience driving alignment across architecture, silicon, firmware, and software teams on complex, ambiguous problems.
- System-level intuition — the ability to reason about power and performance holistically, not just at the block level, and to translate architectural tradeoffs into clear engineering decisions.
- AI-assisted engineering fluency — comfort using AI tools (such as Claude, GitHub Copilot, or similar) to accelerate analysis, workflows, generate and review scripts, synthesize technical documentation, and explore solution spaces faster.
- Candidates who treat AI as a force multiplier for their engineering judgment — rather than a replacement for it — will be well-positioned for how NVIDIA's teams are evolving.
Responsibilities
- Architect and integrate system-level performance and power management features, controllers, and policies to optimize product efficiency across datacenter and client products.
- Build feature roadmaps to address low-power, low-noise, and performance-per-watt product needs through prototyping, use-case analysis, and cost/benefit trade-offs.
- Partner with architecture, ASIC, board/platform, software/firmware, and marketing teams to drive design decisions and debug complex issues.
- Track industry trends and market needs and translate them into forward-looking roadmaps that keep NVIDIA's products ahead of the curve.
- Lead debug efforts, develop workarounds, and support bringup, validation, manufacturing, and customer escalations.
Benefits
- competitive salaries
- generous benefits package
- equity
