The role involves working on power optimization for NVIDIA's data center, gaming, and automotive GPU chips, as well as networking chips. The team focuses on providing architecture, micro-architecture, RTL design, and AI-based power optimization solutions. Collaboration with various engineering teams is essential to analyze and reduce power consumption in next-generation products. The position offers an opportunity to influence architectural and design improvements through power analysis.

• Pursuing or recently completed a MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields with coursework or experience in AI, Digital Design and VLSI concepts.
• Understanding of RTL power optimization fundamentals, including switching activity and low-power design patterns.
• Knowledge of backend flows such as logic synthesis and place-and-route, and their impact on post-layout power and timing.
• Familiarity with RTL implementation of low-power techniques and their trade-offs.
• Exposure to industry power analysis tools such as PowerArtist or PrimeTime PX.
• Strong Python programming skills for building automation scripts and data pipelines.
• Coursework and/or hands-on experience in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
• Previous experience debugging RTL or gate-level power anomalies.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

• Use internally developed tools and industry standard pre-silicon gate-level and RTL power analysis tools to improve product power efficiency.
• Use artificial intelligence to deliver RTL and/or architecture power optimization solutions.
• Develop and share best practices for performing pre-silicon power analysis.
• Perform comparative power analysis to identify trends and anomalies.
• Interact with architects and RTL designers to help interpret power data and identify power bugs.
• Select and run a variety of workloads for power analysis.
• Prototype new architectural features in Verilog and analyze power.

• Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
