## Description

Join NVIDIA's Applied Power Architecture team and help define the perf/watt standards of our innovative silicon and systems across many domains. As a Distinguished Engineer, Power Architecture, you'll develop the long-term technical strategy for power architecture. This includes datacenter GPUs, GeForce and client products, automotive (DRIVE), robotics (Jetson, Isaac), and the broader edge-AI portfolio.

Responsibilities:

- Set multi-generation, cross-portfolio power strategy.

- Own perf/watt across server-, client-, and edge-class platforms.

- Drive performance-versus-power analysis that influences major silicon trade-offs and product roadmap decisions.

- Lead silicon and vendor/IP co-architecture.

- Define new technology frontiers.

- Architect thermal and system-level power management end-to-end.

- Drive ML- and workload-aware modeling and post-silicon optimization.

- Influence across the company and the industry.

- Develop the next generation of technical leaders.

- Generate sustained IP and intellectual contribution.

Requirements:

- MSEE, MSCE, or PhD or equivalent experience demonstrating significant impact in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

- 18+ years of relevant industry and/or academic experience.

- Demonstrated ownership of power architecture across several successful silicon generations,server-class, client/mobile-class, or thermally-constrained SoC platforms.

- Deep, applied expertise in the full stack of low-power and energy-efficient design techniques.

- Authoritative understanding of modern GPU, CPU, and accelerator architectures; high-speed interconnects (NVLink, PCIe, Ethernet, optical, automotive networks); memory subsystems (HBM, LPDDR, on-die SRAM); and the system, OS, runtime, firmware, and workload layers that determine real-world perf/watt.

- Proven history of developing and implementing power and performance modeling methods, important metrics, and tools widely used across the engineering organization.

- Demonstrated experience defining requirements with , and architecting power solutions across , internal silicon teams and external silicon, IP, foundry, or packaging partners.

Benefits:

- Eligible for equity and benefits.
