NVIDIA has been redefining computer graphics, desktop gaming, and enhanced computing capabilities for more than 25 years. Today, we are tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. As a NVIDIAN, you will work on problems that sit at the boundary of architecture, silicon, firmware, software, and production, where strong judgment matters as much as technical depth. We're the Silicon Design for Productization (DFP) Team, within the broader Silicon Co-Design Group, and we turn power and thermal design into executable productization methodology. Power and thermal are among the most complicated problems we work on at NVIDIA because they sit at the intersection of architecture, workload behavior, silicon variation, firmware policy, platform constraints, and product goals. Small decisions here have an outsized impact on performance, efficiency, reliability, bring-up speed, and ultimately what the product can deliver in the field. We define how features move from concepts to bring-up, characterization, validation, and release. In this role, you will help us build that bridge. We're looking for an engineer who reasons from first principles, flourishes with ownership in a fast-paced environment, and uses AI with sound judgment. What you’ll be doing: Lead the effort across multi-functional teams to keep the program’s power and thermal productization strategy clear, executable, and on track. Create methodology and silicon test plan based controller designs and architecture, including characterization process, debug tools, fuse/firmware settings and lab requirements. Drive resolution for challenging silicon issues through structured hypotheses, measurement plans, and root-cause closure. Steward the Power and Thermal playbook when the existing productization methodology

The SCG Architecture team is hiring a Senior Power Integrity Co-Design Engineer to architect and deliver di/dt mitigation across silicon, package, board, and platform. This role bridges architecture, silicon, and platform — translating product noise targets into shipped specifications, and feeding silicon findings back into the next generation's build. Success in this role requires strong systems thinking and a willingness to accept ambiguity. It also requires the ability to apply AI as a force multiplier while maintaining rigorous engineering judgment. What you'll be doing: Architect voltage-noise mitigation across the full stack — silicon, package, board, platform — and own the codesign trade-offs between them. Co-design noise features with Speed, Power, Reliability, Circuit Design , Power-Arch, ASIC, and platform teams. You're the connective tissue across the codesign web. Work with other team members to define product-level voltage noise targets, drive them to closure, and sign them off at shipment. Build and take ownership of the Sim-to-Si correlation methodology for noise. You know when a model is lying and when silicon is. Model and prototype next-gen noise features — transient sense, droop response, mitigation IP, and codify them so every future program inherits them. Lead show-stopper noise bugs during bringup. The critical issues stop with you. Drive architecture-level codesign tradeoffs across V/F Power Noise Reliability Thermal (Noise-Variation) and (Noise-to-Closure) boundary work, where the highest-leverage innovation lives. What we need to see: BS / MS / PhD in EE, CE, or related (or equivalent experience). 5+ years in silicon power integrity, voltage noise, or PDN. Deep expertise in at least one of

NVIDIA silicon runs the world's AI infrastructure. The frequency it delivers across every voltage, process corner, and workload is not assumed. It is measured, correlated, and validated. This role does that work. The Silicon Co-Design Group is where architecture intent becomes silicon reality. We own the boundary between what was designed and what was built, and we are the team that knows the difference. When a program ships at frequency and at quality, this team is a reason why. You will be the person who follows through between simulation and silicon. When the model is wrong, a frequency corner that doesn't hold, a Vmin that walks, a critical path that timing analysis missed, you find out why, and your data is what the rest of the program acts on. Architecture, design, and product teams do not guess. They use your numbers. The engineers who do this well are rare. They think like circuit designers, work like experimentalists, and reason like data scientists. If that is you, read on. What you'll be doing: Own silicon speed characterization from first power-on through production sign-off, covering frequency, Vmin, Vmax, and timing margins across the full PVT space. Close the correlation gap. Tie pre-silicon timing analysis and critical path predictions to measured silicon, quantify where the model diverges from reality, and produce analysis that architecture and design can act on with confidence. Trace failures to their source, whether a microarchitectural bottleneck, a critical path that doesn't close under voltage, a clocking issue, or a process corner the model didn't anticipate, and drive the resolution. Own and build AI agents that work at your direction: automated test orchestration, intelligent data pipelines, and analysis flows that expand coverage and compress cycle time without sacrificing difficulty.
