About the role

We are seeking a Senior Power and Performance Architect to influence, innovate and drive next generation power management and power features to market. As part of the Silicon Solutions Team, you will architect and deliver groundbreaking system solutions that integrate all aspects of the system—from silicon design and software design to operations and final deployment—across multiple market segments that NVIDIA serves. This position offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with multiple organizations in the company and grow your career in a high-impact role. We need a passionate, hard-working, and creative individual to lead power features from architecture through to delivery on the final product.

Responsibilities

• Architect next-generation power management features and solutions through system architecture, design, and productization, working with multi-functional teams across the company.
• Evaluate industry direction and use cases; identify opportunities and challenges in power management and optimization to drive the future roadmap for competitive products.
• Drive initiatives for system-level power optimizations spanning silicon, platform, software, manufacturing, and product systems for products ranging from large-scale datacenters to low-power client devices.
• Lead the team for power feature requirements and schedule from architecture to silicon phase, incorporating feedback to improve the next generation.
• Develop methodologies for power modeling and measurement, characterization of power features, correlation of silicon behavior with simulations, and provide design feedback.
• Work alongside system architects, designers, marketing teams, chip and board designers, software/firmware engineers, HW/SW applications engineering, process/reliability authorities, ATE engineers, sales, and silicon operations in a fast-paced, high-energy, collaborative environment to bring industry-defining products to market.

Requirements

• MS or PhD in EE, CE, CS, Systems Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 15+ years of proven experience in silicon and product power and power management.
• Expertise and deep understanding of silicon power, transistor/device physics, power modeling and measurement, and active power management.
• Background in system-level features, product binning methods, optimization techniques, and tools for data analysis and statistics.
• Experience working on product-level power and performance analysis and optimization; background in datacenter market segments is preferred.
• Familiarity with silicon bringup and validation, frequency and power characterization; hands-on post-silicon experience is a plus.
• Excellent problem-solving, partnership, and interpersonal skills.
• Experience working with offshore teams.
• Exposure to CPU/GPU/SoC architecture and HW-SW co-design is a plus.
