Senior Datacenter Power Systems Modeling Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA

This role focuses on power systems modeling and engineering for data centers, involving rack-level architecture, power delivery simulation, and vendor management. It requires expertise in electrical engineering and simulation tools to optimize power and energy schemes for advanced data center power systems.

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.
