As a Senior Power and Performance Engineer within the Silicon Co-Design Group, you will design, implement, and productize power and thermal-control mechanisms for GPU, CPU, and SoC products. You will work at the intersection of silicon, firmware, platform, and software to manage performance within specific thermal and power envelopes. Your daily responsibilities include tuning controllers, resolving power-limiting constraints, performing system-level optimizations, and validating features from bring-up through production. The role requires expertise in DVFS, power characterization, modeling, and perf-per-watt optimization. You will utilize technical skills in digital design, circuit analysis, and transistor physics while leveraging AI tools to accelerate debug cycles. This position addresses the critical challenge of balancing high performance with thermal constraints across diverse markets including datacenter accelerators, gaming systems, automotive electronics, and low-power client devices.
