Description
NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Architect to join the Silicon Co-Design Group (SCG). The successful candidate will scout the research and industry landscape, identify emerging system-level co-design ideas in power and thermal, and drive them across teams into product differentiation across NVIDIA's roadmap.
Responsibilities:
- Architect next-generation system, platform, and datacenter-level power and thermal co-design solutions
- Build the product differentiation case for each candidate idea, performance, power, reliability, schedule, cost, and brainstorm what is worth pursuing
- Lead end-to-end co-design from concept to product
- Shape innovation across workload-aware power and thermal controls, closed-loop platform telemetry, datacenter-class power compliance, platform-scale energy buffering, advanced cooling intercepts, and emerging memory co-design
- Maintain a living intercept pipeline
- Collaborate with system architects, platform and software engineers, manufacturing partners, and external researchers to bring next-generation products to market
Requirements:
- BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience
- 12+ years in system-level power, thermal, or related architecture
- External technical recognition, premier publications, patents, or industry standards contributions
- Track record of taking research-grade ideas through system co-design and into measurable product impact
- Demonstrated multi-functional influence in aligning teams across the company without direct reporting authority
- Excellent problem-solving, partnership, and social skills
Nice to Have:
- PhD or equivalent experience with sustained research contributions after entering industry
- Machine learning or data-driven techniques applied to system power, thermal modeling, or design-space exploration
- Background in system reliability and variability, managing aging based on usage patterns, RAS, lifecycle management, and the intersection with power and thermal
- Hands-on familiarity with emerging memory technologies
- Active contributions to standards bodies, consortia, or external technical communities
