Senior Power and Performance Engineer

NVIDIA's Silicon Co-design Group (SCG) sits at a rare intersection: we own the full product development lifecycle, from early architecture definition through siliconbringupto product release. OurArchDevteam is the hub for silicon and system-level feature development, driving tradeoff analysis, system integration, and POR alignment across the entire organization. If you want to see your work go from whiteboard to world-class silicon, this is where that happens.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Architect and integrate system-level performance and power management features, controllers, and policies tooptimizeproduct efficiencyacross datacenter and client products.

• Build feature roadmaps to address low-power, low-noise, and performance-per-wattproductneeds 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 marketneedsand translate them into forward-looking roadmaps that keep NVIDIA's products ahead of the curve.

• Lead debug efforts, develop workarounds, and supportbringup, validation, manufacturing, and customer escalations.

What We Need to See:

• 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.

• Familiarity with clocking, boot/reset flows, and system architecture is a plus.

• Hands-on lab experience (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers) and siliconbringupexposure are a bonus.

• Programmingproficiencyin C/C++, Python, or Perl in Windows/Linux environments.

• Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills.

Ways to Stand Out in a Crowd:

• Demonstrated cross-functional leadership — experience driving alignment across architecture, silicon, firmware, and software teams on complex, ambiguous problems.

• System-level intuition — the ability to reasonaboutpower 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 accelerateanalysis,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.
