NVIDIA's Silicon Co-design Group (SCG) sits at a rare intersection: we own the full product development lifecycle, from early architecture definition through silicon bringup to product release. Our ArchDev team is the hub for silicon and system-level feature development, driving tradeoff analysis, system integration, and POR alignment across the entire organization. If you want to see your work go from whiteboard to world-class silicon, this is where that happens.

### What You'll Be Doing:

- Architect and integrate system-level performance and power management features, controllers, and policies to optimize product efficiency across datacenter and client products.

- Build feature roadmaps to address low-power, low-noise, and performance-per-watt product needs through prototyping, use-case analysis, and cost/benefit trade-offs.

- Partner with architecture, ASIC, board/platform, software/firmware, and marketing teams to drive design decisions and debug complex issues.

- Track industry trends and market needs and translate them into forward-looking roadmaps that keep NVIDIA's products ahead of the curve.

- Lead debug efforts, develop workarounds, and support bringup, validation, manufacturing, and customer escalations.

- Utilize AI-driven techniques to enhance performance prediction models and power management strategies.

### What We Need to See:

- BS or MS in EE/CE (or equivalent experience).

- 8+ years of experience with a strong focus on performance and power management on one or two of below areas that optimize power for perf-per-watt efficiency in datacenter or client systems: DVFS, power gating, clock policy, sequencing, throttling, control systems, boot/reset.

- Strong EE fundamentals on digital design, low power design, DVFS, control systems, power management techniques, timing, and architecture.

- Knowledge of PVT dependencies, binning methodologies, and VF characterization.

- Solid understanding of firmware/driver structures and HW/SW interaction with different IPs, including their impact on power, latency, and reliability.

- Hands-on lab experience (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers) and silicon bringup exposure are a bonus.

- Programming proficiency in C/C++, Python, or Perl in Windows/Linux environments.

- Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills.

- Leverage AI to perform advanced optimization accelerate analysis, workflows, generate and review scripts, synthesize technical documentation, and explore solution spaces faster.

- Utilize machine learning algorithms to predict power consumption and performance based on workload characteristics.

- Implement AI-driven tools for automating data collection and analysis during validation and characterization phases.

- Explore creative ways to integrate AI insights into continuous improvement of power and performance metrics.

### Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:

- Demonstrated cross-functional leadership , experience driving alignment across architecture, silicon, firmware, and software teams on complex, ambiguous problems.

- System-level intuition , the ability to reason about power and performance holistically, not just at the block level, and to translate architectural tradeoffs into clear engineering decisions.

- Published research or patents in power management or related fields.

- Experience with modeling and simulation tools for performance validation at scale and familiarity with the latest advancements in AI and their applications in power and performance optimization.

- Contributions to open-source projects or communities in low-power design methodologies.

Our team is at the forefront of silicon innovation, advancing groundbreaking technologies. We offer a dynamic work environment where your contributions will directly impact the company's success. Join us to advance your career in a role where you can truly make a difference.
