Principal Power and Thermal Innovation Architect

NVIDIA is seeking a Principal Power and Thermal Innovation Architect to join the Silicon Co-Design Group (SCG). As a Principal Architect, you 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, focusing on performance, power, reliability, schedule, cost, and feasibility.
• Lead end-to-end co-design from concept to product, driving alignment across architecture, VLSI, software, platform, packaging, and operations teams.
• 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, tracking candidates, productization status, decision gates, and product axes.
• 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.
• 15+ years in system-level power, thermal, or related architecture, with deep expertise in at least one of: system power management, system thermal architecture, platform energy architecture, workload-aware power and thermal controls, or memory co-design.
• External technical recognition, premier publications, patents, or industry standards contributions, and active contributions to standards bodies, consortia, or external technical communities.
• 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.

Benefits:

• Equity
