Job summary

NVIDIA’s Silicon Co-Design Group seeks a Principal System Power Management and Performance Architect to shape system, platform, and data center features across multiple silicon generations. You will tackle ambiguous problems with a framework for solving them, balancing performance, power, and reliability.

The role requires leading architecture and integration for HSIO power management, DVFS, P-states, and boot flows, while driving datacenter-scale power strategies and cross-team collaboration

Qualifications

• BS or MS in EE/CE, or equivalent experience proven through the work itself
• 15+ years of system architecture, development, and validation experience with a strong focus on power and performance-per-watt optimization in datacenter or high-performance platforms.
• A verifiable history of guiding architecture decisions that shipped across multiple silicon programs.
• Extensive knowledge of HSIO power management, DVFS, P-states, system boot flows, and low-power entry/exit architecture, including how they interact with IP, firmware, and platform layers.
• Strong fundamentals in low-power design, power management techniques, and rack-level performance architecture.

Responsibilities

• Define the multi-generation roadmap for system-level power and performance features across segments.
• Own the architecture and integration strategy for HSIO power management, DVFS, P-states, and low-power features.
• Lead system-level boot and IST architecture for multi-IP systems with complex interaction spaces.
• Drive power management strategy at datacenter scale, including rack-level telemetry and platform state coordination.
• Identify and redesign system-level processes that break under new product requirements and architect the next steps.
• Serve as the multi-functional technical authority across architecture, ASIC, board/platform, and firmware teams.
