Senior Datacenter Power Design and Modeling Engineer
NVIDIA · Santa Clara, CA · 1 wk ago
EngineeringFull-time
About the role
Lead cross-functional execution and modeling for data-center power-delivery programs. Own rack-level architecture definition, end-to-end power modeling and simulation for advanced data-center power and energy schemes, and power shelves, busbars, and cable vendor management. Ensure successful delivery of power-related engineering programs through modeling and simulation efforts, coordinating across power architects, power validation, firmware, mechanical teams, and suppliers.
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 design; perform fast and effective failure analysis with solid root cause 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, identifying engineering trade-offs across efficiency, reliability, thermal limits, and manufacturability.
- Manage PSU and rack-power vendors, support bring-up, close failure analysis cycles, and clearly communicate program status, risks, and escalations to leadership.
Requirements
- Master’s (or higher) degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical field, or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of experience in Power Electronics or a related technical field.
- 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.
Skills
- 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.
Pay
Base salary range: 168,000 USD – 258,750 USD (Level 4) or 200,000 USD – 322,000 USD (Level 5), depending on location, experience, and position level. Eligible for equity and benefits.
