Job description

The Senior Architecture Energy Modeling Engineer will join NVIDIA's Power Modeling, Methodology and Analysis Team, focusing on developing energy-efficient methodologies for NVIDIA's products. This role involves building energy models that integrate into various platforms and collaborating with multiple engineering teams. The engineer will leverage machine learning to analyze and reduce power consumption in GPUs, CPUs, and Tegra SOCs. The position offers an opportunity to influence architectural and design improvements for next-generation products.

Requirements

  • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in a relevant field.
  • Strong coding skills, preferably in Python and C++.
  • Background in machine learning, AI, and/or statistical modeling.
  • Familiarity with Verilog and ASIC design principles is a plus.
  • Basic understanding of energy consumption, estimation, and low power design.

Responsibilities

  • Work with architects, designers, and performance engineers to develop an energy-efficient GPU.
  • Identify key design features and workloads for building machine learning based unit power/energy models.
  • Develop and own methodologies and workflows to train models using ML and/or statistical techniques.
  • Improve the accuracy of trained models by using different model representations, objective functions, and learning algorithms.
  • Develop methodologies to estimate data movement power/energy accurately.
  • Correlate the predicted energy from models built at different stages of the design cycle.
  • Work with performance infrastructure teams to integrate power/energy models into their platforms.
  • Develop tools to debug energy inefficiencies observed in various workloads.
  • Prototype new architectural features and analyze their system impact.
  • Identify and suggest studies for improving GPU performance per watt.

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.
