Job description

NVIDIA's Silicon Co-design Group is seeking an experienced engineer to architect and integrate system-level performance and power management features. The role involves collaborating with various teams to drive design decisions and debug complex issues. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in silicon power architecture and system-level design. This position offers the opportunity to impact product efficiency across datacenter and client products.

Requirements

  • BS or MS in EE/CE or equivalent experience with 8+ years in silicon power architecture and system-level design.
  • Strong fundamentals in digital design, low power design, DVFS, control systems, and power management.
  • Solid understanding of firmware/driver structures and hardware/software interaction.
  • Familiarity with clocking, boot/reset flows, and system architecture.
  • Hands-on lab experience with oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers.
  • Programming proficiency in C/C++, Python, or Perl in Windows/Linux environments.
  • Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and integrate system-level performance and power management features to optimize product efficiency.
  • Build feature roadmaps to address product needs through prototyping and cost/benefit analysis.
  • Partner with architecture, ASIC, board/platform, software/firmware, and marketing teams to drive design decisions.
  • Track industry trends and translate them into forward-looking roadmaps.
  • Lead debug efforts, develop workarounds, and support bringup, validation, and customer escalations.

Benefits

  • 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.
