Senior Power and Performance Engineer

Benefits

• 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.
