NVIDIA is seeking a highly experienced Software Engineer to join their Client Platform group, focusing on power management, thermal regulation, and performance optimization. This senior technical leadership role involves leading efforts related to energy optimization and cooling solutions software on sophisticated SoC-based platforms. The candidate will work from architecture through productization, influencing various partners and internal leadership. The ideal candidate will excel at combining deep technical expertise with strong interpersonal skills.

• 12+ years of industry experience in system software, with at least 5+ years focused on SoC or platform power management software.
• Deep expertise in SoC/GPU/CPU power management, including C-states, SOC low power states, DVFS, power gating, and clock gating.
• A consistent track record of owning and delivering Power/Thermal software goals on a real product from pre-silicon architecture through post-launch optimization.
• Strong multi-functional leadership skills with proven ability to align engineering teams, SoC/silicon partners, OS/platform vendors, and OEM partners around common goals.
• Proficiency in C and a solid background in operating system internals, device drivers, real-time embedded OS, and low-level HW/SW interfaces.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, able to distill complex technical tradeoffs for engineering leadership and business partners.
• A B.S. or higher in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

• Architect and implement SoC power and thermal control software modules.
• Establish the architecture of software addressing power and thermal management for next-generation platforms.
• Lead root cause analysis and resolution of complex, multi-team Power/Thermal issues.
• Define software corrective action plans based on SOC/Platform findings and ensure they are accomplished in future product generations.
• Own end-to-end software work addressing power usage and thermal control for a Client SoC product line.
• Drive platform power and thermal goals across the full software stack, coordinating across SoC partner firmware, kernel/driver teams, and OEM-facing software.
• Maintain program-level tracking of Power/Thermal software status, risks, and mitigations, and communicate proactively to engineering leadership.
• Serve as the primary software technical interface to SoC partners on Power/Thermal topics.
• Collaborate with ecosystem partners on next-generation Power/Thermal software features.
• Partner with OEM engineering teams to resolve platform-level power and thermal issues.
• Represent the Power/Thermal software team in leadership reviews, program syncs, and executive communications.

• 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.
