Recommend architectural and micro‑architectural optimizations for power
Perform comparative power analysis across workloads, products, and design options to identify trends, anomalies, and optimization opportunities that aren’t obvious from first principles alone.
Partner closely with Architects, Performance, Software, ASIC Design, and Physical Design teams to interpret power data, root‑cause power bugs, and drive fixes and design changes.
Prototype and evaluate new architectural features in Verilog, with a strong focus on their power and energy implications.
Automate and scale flows (Python/Perl/C++), and define new pipelines that fast‑track power anomaly detection and close the loop between power data, AI models, and design decisions.
Apply AI to power optimization: build and deploy data‑driven models—using machine learning, reinforcement learning, data analytics, and custom LLMs—to recommend or automatically tune power‑efficient configurations and policies.
What We Need To See
MS (or equivalent experience) and 5yrs experience OR PHD + 3yr experience in EE/CE/CS or related fields.
Strong understanding of energy consumption, power estimation, data movement, and low‑power design.
Familiarity with Verilog and ASIC design principles, and hands‑on experience with tools such as PowerArtist, PrimePower/PrimePower RTL, RTL Architect, or similar.
Solid coding and automation skills, preferably in Python, Perl, and C++.
Experience or strong interest in machine learning, reinforcement learning, and data analytics, ideally applied to EDA, architecture, or system‑level optimization.
Interest or experience in building and using LLMs or other foundation models as engineering copilots—especially for EDA/power/architecture workflows.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with cross‑functional design and architecture teams.
A genuine desire to bring data‑driven, AI‑assisted decision‑making into power architecture and help shape the energy profile of NVIDIA’s future products.
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 136,000 USD - 218,500 USD for Level 3, and 168,000 USD - 264,500 USD for Level 4.
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until October 20, 2026.
