Principal CPU Power Architect

Do you want to help drive the development of CPU technology for architectures used for artificial intelligence (AI), agentic workloads, deep learning (DL), high-performance computing (HPC), cloud service providers (CSP), gaming, virtual reality, and autonomous vehicles?

Come join the CPU architecture team and help us push the boundaries for all our CPU products!

Responsibilities

• Bridge the gap between architecture, RTL implementation, and physical design.
• Serve as subject matter expert on power delivery/regulators, power gating, di/dt, and thermal throttling.
• Analyze power trade-offs for different die stacking and packaging proposals.
• Propose and drive improvements related to power and power methodology for our custom CPU cores.

Requirements

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 15 or more years of relevant experience.
• Extensive background in CPU architecture.
• Solid understanding of power consumption, and power efficiency concepts.
• Experience of RTL development.
• Detailed understanding of process technologies and circuit design.
• Well versed in low power techniques that span the entire stack from SW, Architecture, RTL, VLSI, and process.

Ways to Stand Out

• PhD or research experience.
• Advanced knowledge in the area of physical design.
• Knowledge of GPU and SOC design.
• Experience of advanced packaging technologies.
• Strong communication skills.

NVIDIA is expanding into the CPU server market, complementing our world-class GPUs and SoCs. These CPUs play a critical role in orchestrating complex workloads with exceptional performance-per-watt efficiency.
