TL;DR

NVIDIA seeks a Senior Power Integrity Engineer to join its LPU Packaging team, where you will define best-in-class power delivery design practices from die/package through rack levels for GPUs and other high-performance products. Your responsibilities include owning the PI specification, architecting package-level PDNs, driving system-level PI design, performing simulations with industry-standard tools like PowerSI and Sigrity, generating reusable models, and executing lab validation plans to ensure compliance with specifications. The ideal candidate has a strong background in power integrity for large GPUs or CPUs, hands-on experience with FCBGA and 25D/3D integration, proficiency in frequency-domain PDN impedance analysis tools, and expertise in board-level PDN design. Additionally, you should have demonstrated leadership in end-to-end PI for major GPU programs and a deep understanding of rack-level power distribution in data centers. This role involves working on cutting-edge technologies in AI, Deep Learning, Autonomous Vehicles, and Robotics, requiring strong communication skills to explain complex trade-offs to technical teams and stakeholders.

What you'll do

  • Define best-in-class power delivery design practices from die/package through rack levels.
  • Own PI specification and methodology, setting PDN targets for GPU, HBM, and high-speed interfaces.
  • Architect package-level PDNs by collaborating on bump/ball maps and decoupling strategies.
  • Drive system-level PI design, including board-level PDN planning and VRM interface optimization.
  • Perform PI extraction and simulation for advanced packages using industry-standard tools.

What we're looking for

  • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field with 12+ years of Power Integrity experience
  • Strong background in power integrity for high-current, low-voltage rails within large GPUs, ASICs, or CPUs
  • Proven ownership and hands-on experience in chip-package-board PDN design and sign-off process
  • Proficiency with frequency-domain PDN impedance analysis and time-domain transient/droop simulation tools
  • Deep understanding of board-level PDN design including stack-up definition and VRM placement on high-layer-count boards
  • Experience executing lab measurements to correlate measured noise and droop to original specifications
  • Demonstrated leadership in end-to-end PI for a major GPU, CPU, or ASIC program from concept through mass production
