About the role
The Silicon Solutions Team at NVIDIA architects and delivers solutions for productizing NVIDIA's chips into consumer, professional, server, mobile, and automotive markets, covering silicon characterization, correlation to architecture and design expectations, product specification, and productization infrastructure. The team works at the intersection of performance controllers, silicon power and thermal limits, and the latest process node technologies. This role leads performance controller productization from pre-silicon planning through bring-up, tuning, validation, and production, correlating silicon behavior with pre-silicon expectations and applying AI/ML and data-driven methods to silicon characterization and HW telemetry data.
What you will do
- Lead the productization of Performance controllers from pre-silicon planning through bring-up, tuning, validation, and production.
- Collaborate with architecture, design, firmware, and software teams to define controller requirements & features , identify improvements and translate new capabilities into production-ready solutions.
- Characterize and tune controller behaviour across workloads, operating conditions, silicon variation, and product power and thermal limits. Maximize the perf and Perf/Watt with-in architectural bottlenecks & limitations, Power/Thermal system limits to provide best customer experience for the products
- Correlate silicon behaviour with pre-silicon expectations, debug & resolve complex problems during bring up and final closed loop performance stage involving silicon HW, firmware, software, power delivery network, system thermals etc.
- Apply AI/ML and data-driven methods to analyze silicon characterization and HW telemetry data, identify anomalies and trends, accelerate controller tuning and improve debug as well as silicon validation execution efficiency.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- B. Tech or M. Tech in Electronics Engineering stream.
- At least 5+ years of proven experience in silicon validation, system level design, and power/performance optimization.
- Strong understanding of aspects related to silicon power and performance, technology node impacts, Hardware and Software interactions at system level.
- Hands-on experience with silicon bring up, validation and productization
- Good HW architectural understanding and orientation
- Very good problem solving and hardware debugging skills.
- Strong good data analysis and logical reasoning skills.
- Strong familiarity with HW lab environment.
- Must be a great teammate and ready to collaborate with global teams from diverse cultural backgrounds in a high energy environment.
Preferred qualifications
- Extensive background in DVFS, voltage/frequency management, HW telemetries, Performance throttling, silicon protection mechanisms on advanced ASIC/SoC products.
- Contributions that improved controller behaviour, silicon performance, power efficiency, thermal management, bring-up/productization methodologies.
- Experience connecting controller behaviour across simulation, silicon, firmware, and system-level measurements and converting findings into production tuning.
- Experience applying AI/ML to engineering workflows, such as controller tuning, characterization analytics, anomaly detection, or debug assistants deployed beyond personal use.
Benefits and support
- Compensation and benefits are detailed in the job posting
