As a Principal Power and Thermal Architect within the Silicon Co-Design Group, you will architect next-generation system, platform, and datacenter-level power and thermal co-design solutions. You will scout research and industry landscapes to identify emerging ideas in silicon, memory, packaging, and platforms, building product differentiation cases based on performance, reliability, and cost. Your daily work involves leading end-to-end co-design from concept to production while driving alignment across architecture, VLSI, software, and operations teams. You will manage a living intercept pipeline and shape innovation in workload-aware controls, closed-loop telemetry, and advanced cooling. The role requires expertise in system power management, thermal architecture, or memory co-design. Candidates should possess a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science, along with experience in machine learning, data-driven modeling, and high-bandwidth memory technologies to solve complex hardware challenges.
