As a Distinguished Engineer, Power Architecture on the Applied Power Architecture team, you will define long-term technical strategies and multi-generation power architectures for a diverse portfolio including datacenter GPUs, GeForce products, automotive systems, robotics, and edge-AI platforms. You will be responsible for owning performance-per-watt metrics across server, client, and edge-class hardware while driving trade-off analyses that influence silicon roadmaps. Your daily work involves leading silicon and vendor co-architecture, designing end-to-end thermal and system-level power management, and developing workload-aware modeling and post-silicon optimization. You will utilize deep expertise in GPU, CPU, and accelerator architectures, high-speed interconnects like NVLink and PCIe, memory subsystems such as HBM and LPDDR, and advanced techniques for low-power design. This role addresses the critical challenge of balancing performance against power constraints across various hardware environments ranging from liquid-cooled datacenters to battery-constrained edge devices.
