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. At NVIDIA, we are leading the charge in developing groundbreaking technologies that redefine the future of computing. As an Senior ASIC Power Engineer in our Santa Clara, CA office, you will play a meaningful role in crafting the power architecture of our world-class products. This is an outstanding opportunity to join a team of highly dedicated individuals who thrive on innovation and collaboration.

What you'll be doing:

• Join the NVIDIA Power Architecture Group handling the full range of power-related activities including ASIC energy evaluation, power architecture, low power development, power-aware verification, advanced power methodologies, UPF methodologies, power feature bring-up on silicon, and post-Si power correlation for NVIDIA's product lineup.

• Support power analysis efforts by aiding in the architecture, creation, verification, and correlation of power estimation models/tools for NVIDIA's products.

• Be part of the team that architects and builds system-level power features for optimizing the dynamic and leakage power dissipation for different use cases.

• Work on power verification which includes structural, functional, and power-aware verification of power features of NVIDIA products by developing test plans, writing test cases, building test bench components like monitors, assertions, and coverage points, and owning verification convergence across RTL, Gates, and Silicon.

• Validate the efficiency of the power features on silicon, conduct studies, and contribute to Performance/Watt improvement ideas.

• Help develop power management solutions and foster innovation in energy efficiency throughout NVIDIA's product portfolio.

What we need to see:

• B.Tech./M.Tech (or equivalent experience) with over 5 years of experience in power analysis, power development, power-aware verification, UPF methodologies, and power correlation.

• Solid understanding of all power aspects, including full-chip power modeling, transistor-level leakage and dynamic characteristics in VLSI circuits.

• Strong fundamentals in digital build flow and Verilog (especially low power RTL development).

• Familiarity with low power build techniques such as multi-VT, clock gating, power gating, voltage islands, and Dynamic Voltage-Frequency Scaling (DVFS).

• Solid experience in power estimation methods, processes, and algorithms.

• Working experience with scripting languages like Python is a must.

• Prior experience writing SW-driven power virus tests and silicon debug is necessary.

• Experience in power supply and supply noise analysis and reduction is advantageous.

• Must be an excellent collaborator and prepared to work with international groups from varied cultural origins in a dynamic environment.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Good debugging and problem-solving skills.

• Strong communication abilities and the capability to work well with others.

• Solid programming skills, ideally in C & Python.

• Knowledge of lab equipment for power measurements, including oscilloscopes or DAQs, along with the capability to troubleshoot board-level power issues is a plus.
