TL;DR · Senior Architecture Energy Modeling Engineer

The Senior Architecture Energy Modeling Engineer joins the Power Modeling, Methodology and Analysis Team to research, develop, and deploy methodologies for energy-efficient products. The role involves building energy models that integrate into architectural simulators, RTL simulation, emulation, and silicon platforms. Key responsibilities include developing Machine Learning based power models to analyze and reduce power consumption for GPUs, CPUs, and Tegra SOCs. You will collaborate with various engineering teams to study energy modeling techniques, estimate data movement power, and correlate predicted energy across different design stages. Required skills include a background in machine learning, AI, and statistical modeling, along with strong coding skills in Python and C++. Candidates must understand computer architecture, energy consumption concepts, and low power design to improve performance per watt for graphics and artificial intelligence workloads.

What you'll do

  • Develop Machine Learning based power models to analyze and reduce power consumption of NVIDIA GPUs.
  • Create methodologies and workflows to train models using ML and statistical techniques.
  • Improve model accuracy using various representations, objective functions, and learning algorithms.
  • Develop methodologies to accurately estimate data movement power and energy.
  • Correlate predicted energy from different design stages to bridge early estimates to silicon.
  • Integrate power-energy models into performance infrastructure platforms for combined reporting.
  • Develop tools to debug and suggest solutions for energy inefficiencies observed on silicon, RTL, and simulators.
  • Prototype new architectural features and analyze their system impact on energy efficiency.

What we're looking for

  • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of experience.
  • Strong coding skills, preferably in Python and C++ (preferred).
  • Background in machine learning, AI, and/or statistical modeling.
  • Background in computer architecture and interest in energy-efficient GPU designs.
  • Familiarity with Verilog and ASIC design principles (preferred).
  • Ability to formulate and analyze algorithms, including their runtime and memory complexities.
  • Basic understanding of fundamental concepts of energy consumption, estimation, and low power design.
