NVIDIA has been redefining computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. Today, we are tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. As an NVIDIAN, you will address challenges spanning architecture, silicon, firmware, software, and production — and excellent judgment matters as much as technical depth! Every major NVIDIA silicon product family—from the chips powering AI and datacentre systems to gaming, professional, embedded, and automotive platforms—passes through our productization work on its way to production. NVIDIA’s Silicon Co-Design Productization team works from pre-silicon strategy and feature development through bring-up, characterization, correlation, and optimization. Our charter spans power & performance modelling, bring up & tuning of low-power features, power & thermal controllers , and system-level optimization that ultimately shape how NVIDIA products are configured, binned, specified, and shipped. What you'll be doing Drive silicon power productization from pre-silicon planning through bring-up and production, including test strategy, feature readiness, characterization, and optimization. Partner with architecture and design teams to identify improvements, validate features, and help translate them into production-ready solutions. Correlate measured silicon behaviour with pre-silicon expectations, investigate gaps, and drive complex issues to root cause. Build power and performance models and characterization methodologies that decide silicon binning, product specifications, productization decisions, and customer guidance. Use AI/ML and data-driven methods to analyse characterization & telemetry data, identify anomalies & trends , and accelerate issue debug across silicon, board, power delivery, firmware,
NVIDIA has been redefining computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. Today, we are tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. As an NVIDIAN, you will address challenges spanning architecture, silicon, firmware, software, and production — and excellent judgment matters as much as technical depth! We are the Silicon Power Team within the Silicon Co-Design Group. We architect and deliver groundbreaking solutions for productizing NVIDIA's chips across consumer, professional, server, embedded, mobile, and automotive markets. Silicon characterization, correlation to arch and design expectations, product spec finalization, and productization techniques and infrastructure are our day-to-day work — always on the bleeding edge of the industry. Small decisions here have outsized impact on performance, efficiency, reliability, bring-up speed, and ultimately what the product delivers in the field. We are hiring a Senior Silicon Power Engineer to own power-feature productization on a flagship silicon program. This is not a coordination role, and it is not a compliance role — it is the seat where power features either work at scale or become the reason a program slips. The two highest-leverage problems in this seat: Close the hardest multi-functional power failures before they gate a program. Take ambiguous, cross-boundary issues across architecture, firmware, validation, and platform to root-cause closure — with productized fixes and reusable methodology the next program can inherit. Build AI-enabled characterization as a real capability, not a demo. Every bring-up generates terabytes of characterization, shmoo, and telemetry data. Deploy AI workflows for data analysis, metric extraction, trend detection, and cross-bring-up correlation — with the guardrails and validation discipline to make them trustworthy enough to gate production decisions! <
