Senior Datacenter Power Systems Modeling Engineer

NVIDIA · Santa Clara, CA · 1 mo ago
EngineeringFull-time

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 datacenter 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, 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.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 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, deep knowledge of PSU control behavior.
  • Ability to influence architecture decisions and drive long-term strategies for next-generation power systems.

Pay

The base salary range is 168,000 USD - 258,750 USD for Level 4, and 200,000 USD - 322,000 USD for Level 5. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
