Senior Power and Performance Engineer

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.

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.   What We Need to See:   BS or MS in EE/CE (or equivalent experience) with 8+ years in silicon power architecture, system-level design, validation, and power/performance optimization.   Strong EE fundamentals: digital design, low power design, DVFS, control systems, power management, timing, and architecture.   Solid understanding of firmware/driver structures and HW/SW interaction.   Familiarity with clocking, boot/reset flows, and system architecture is a plus.   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.     Ways to Stand Out in a 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.   AI-assisted engineering fluency — comfort using AI tools (such as Claude, GitHub Copilot, or similar) to accelerate   analysis ,   workflows, generate and review scripts, synthesize technical documentation, and explore solution spaces faster. Candidates who treat AI as a force multiplier for their engineering judgment — rather than a replacement for it — will be well-positioned for how NVIDIA's teams are evolving.   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. With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, we are widely considered one of the technology industry’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us, and due to unprecedented growth, our exclusive engineering teams are rapidly growing. If   you're   a creative and autonomous engineer with a real passion for technology, we want to hear from you!    #LI-Hybrid  Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 168,000 USD - 264,500 USD for Level 4, and 196,000 USD - 310,500 USD for Level 5. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits .
