Senior Datacenter Power Design and Modeling Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA

This role focuses on the power delivery architecture and modeling for data centers, specifically for rack-level components like power shelves and busbars. It involves cross-functional coordination, technical risk management, and vendor management, with a strong emphasis on simulation and analysis to optimize power and energy schemes. While experience with AI/GPU server platforms is a plus, the core function is power engineering, not AI model development.

What you'd actually do

  1. Lead end-to-end execution for data-center power architecture programs, including Power Shelf, BBU/CBU, busbars, and other rack-level power components.
  2. Drive end-to-end modeling and simulation to guide and optimize the design; drive fast and effective failure analysis with solid root cause and correlation actions.
  3. Own technical risk management, validation strategy, and cross-functional alignment across architecture, validation, mechanical, compliance, firmware, and suppliers.
  4. Translate power-architecture requirements into clear milestones, identifying engineering trade-offs across efficiency, reliability, thermal limits, and manufacturability.
  5. Manage PSU and rack-power vendors, support bring-up, close failure analysis cycles, and clearly communicate program status, risks, and escalations to leadership.
