Senior System Performance Engineer

Overview

Senior System Perf Engineer on NVIDIA's Silicon Solutions Team, productizing NVIDIA chips across consumer, professional, server, mobile and automotive markets, with a focus on performance controllers.

What you'll 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 and 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 performance and Perf/Watt within architectural bottlenecks and power/thermal system limits to provide the best customer experience.
• Correlate silicon behaviour with pre-silicon expectations, and debug and resolve complex problems during bring-up and final closed-loop performance stage involving silicon HW, firmware, software, power delivery network and system thermals.
• 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 and silicon validation execution efficiency.

What you'll need

• 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 silicon power and performance, technology node impacts, and 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 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.

Nice to have

• Extensive background in DVFS, voltage/frequency management, HW telemetries, performance throttling, and silicon protection mechanisms on advanced ASIC/SoC products.
• Contributions that improved controller behaviour, silicon performance, power efficiency, thermal management, or 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.
