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 pr MS in EE/CE (or equivalent experience). 

• 8+ years of experience with a strong focus of 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.
