Senior Power Integrity Co-design Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Power Integrity Co-Design Engineer to architect and deliver di/dt mitigation across silicon, package, board, and platform. This role involves bridging architecture, silicon, and platform, translating product noise targets into shipped specs, and feeding silicon findings back into future designs. The role requires strong systems thinking, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to apply AI as a force multiplier while maintaining rigorous engineering judgment. Responsibilities include defining and signing off on product-level voltage noise targets, architecting mitigation strategies across the full stack, co-designing noise features with various teams, building and leading Sim-to-Si correlation methodology, modeling and prototyping next-gen noise features, leading noise bug resolution during bringup, and driving architecture-level codesign tradeoffs.

What you'd actually do

  1. Define product-level voltage noise targets, drive them to closure, and sign them off at shipment.
  2. Architect voltage noise mitigation across the full stack - silicon, package, board, platform - and lead the codesign tradeoffs between them.
  3. Co-design noise features with Speed/Power/Reliability, circuit, power-arch, ASIC, and platform teams. You're the connective tissue across the codesign web.
  4. Build and lead the Sim-to-Si correlation methodology for voltage noise.
  5. Model and prototype next-gen noise features - transient sense, droop response, mitigation IP.

Skills

Required

  • BS, MS, or PhD in EE, CE, or related (or equivalent experience) with 12+ years in silicon power integrity, voltage noise, or PDN
  • Deep expertise in at least one of: di/dt analysis and mitigation, voltage droop, PDN design (die + package + board), transient noise, or decap budgeting.
  • Hands-on silicon experience: bring-up, characterization, correlation — comfortable on a bench with scopes, probes, and DAQ, and in front of a simulator.
  • Strong Sim-to-Si correlation instincts
  • Multi-functional collaboration and spec subject area: able to drive a decision through multiple partners, detail it, and own it through sign-offs.

Nice to have

  • Proof of craft: patents, publications, or reusable methodology you built in power integrity, PDN, or di/dt
  • Hands-on experience with groundbreaking GPU, CPU, or AI accelerator silicon at advanced nodes; multi-rail, multi-domain PDN ownership at SoC level (die + package + board co-optimization in production).
  • A track record of applying ML or AI to noise modeling, transient prediction, droop response, or feature optimization — with the validation rigor to know when the model is wrong.

What the JD emphasized

  • Proven use of AI techniques to accelerate power integrity work includes noise modeling, transient prediction, Sim-to-Si analysis, and automated correlation checks.
  • A track record of applying ML or AI to noise modeling, transient prediction, droop response, or feature optimization — with the validation rigor to know when the model is wrong.
