Job summary

NVIDIA Corporation in California seeks a hardware-focused Power Engineer to define and validate in-rack/out-of-rack power architectures, ensuring electrical performance, thermal behavior, and robust fault containment across server PSUs and power shelves.

The role requires 6+ years in hardware/platform or related engineering, deep knowledge of switching power converters, and hands-on testing with lab instrumentation. Occasional travel will be required as part of cross-functional collaboration.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 6+ years in hardware/platform engineering, systems engineering, ecosystem engineering, or technical partner management.
• Strong understanding of switching power conversion (PFC, LLC, phase-shifted full-bridge) and DC/DC topologies.
• Hands-on design/integration/validation of high-power server PSUs or power shelves.
• Knowledge of rack power distribution, busbars, high-current connectors, grounding, and fault containment.
• Proficiency in schematic review, circuit analysis, control-loop stability, and EMI/EMC.
• Experience developing test plans and using lab instruments for efficiency, transient, ripple, protection tests.
• Ability to diagnose system-level failures via electrical measurements, telemetry, firmware, and logs.
• Ability to coordinate work across suppliers and multidisciplinary teams.
• Willingness to travel up to 25–40% domestically and internationally.

Responsibilities

• Define and review requirements for in-rack and out-of-rack power architectures, server PSUs, power shelves, and DC distribution systems.
• Lead partner design reviews and system validation covering electrical performance, thermal behavior, current sharing, redundancy, hot swap, protection, and power-management interfaces.
• Diagnose complex power issues across distributed hardware fleets and serve as an escalation point for partners and operations teams.
• Drive root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and improvements in reliability, serviceability, energy efficiency, and operational performance.
• Translate deployment findings into design requirements, validation coverage, and ecosystem guidance.

Job description

NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology—and amazing people. Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.

What you'll be doing:

• Define and review requirements for in-rack and out-of-rack power architectures, server PSUs, power shelves, and DC distribution systems.
• Lead partner design reviews and system validation covering electrical performance, thermal behavior, current sharing, redundancy, hot swap, protection, and power-management interfaces.
• Diagnose complex power issues across distributed hardware fleets and serve as an escalation point for partners and operations teams.
• Drive root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and improvements in reliability, serviceability, energy efficiency, and operational performance.
• Translate deployment findings into design requirements, validation coverage, and ecosystem guidance.

What we need to see:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 6+ years of demonstrated ability in hardware platform engineering, systems engineering, ecosystem engineering, or technical partner management.
• Strong understanding of switching power conversion, including power factor correction (PFC), LLC resonant converters, phase-shifted full-bridge converters, and isolated and non-isolated DC/DC topologies.
• Hands-on experience designing, integrating, or validating high-power server PSUs, power shelves, or comparable modular power systems.
• Knowledge of rack power distribution, busbars, high-current connectors, current sharing, redundant architectures, grounding, and fault containment.
• Proficiency in schematic review, circuit analysis, control-loop stability, magnetics, component selection, thermal analysis, and EMI/EMC.
• Experience developing test plans and conducting efficiency, transient-response, ripple, protection, and failure-mode testing using laboratory instrumentation.
• Demonstrated ability to diagnose system-level failures by correlating electrical measurements, telemetry, firmware behavior, and hardware logs.
• Ability to coordinate technical work across suppliers, ecosystem partners, and multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Ability to travel domestically and internationally up to 25–40%.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Engineering or related technical field.
• Experience with NVIDIA MGX platforms, rack-scale accelerated computing, or power architectures.
• Familiarity with PSU and shelf management interfaces, digital power control, and firmware integration.
• Experience supporting large hardware fleets and driving corrective actions through production and deployment.
• End-to-end development experience with high-reliability switching DC/DC supplies, including schematic design, prototype bring-up, qualification, and production support. Space-rated avionics experience is valuable, particularly in component derating, fault containment, and rigorous validation.

Widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers, NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package. As you plan your future, see what we can offer to you and your family www.nvidiabenefits.com/.
