As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.

As a global leader in accelerated computing, NVIDIA powers transformative AI, HPC, and data center innovations. The LPU (Language Processing Unit) team focuses on creating purpose-built hardware for large language models and generative AI workloads, pushing next-generation AI inference acceleration. We are hiring a Senior Power System Engineer to join the LPU team and lead development of efficient, high-current power systems for advanced AI accelerators and data centers.

What you'll be doing:

  • Build and develop power delivery systems for data center and super compute platforms, including multiphase VRMs and Intermediate Bus Converters (IBCs).

  • Architect low voltage, high current (500A-1000A+) power rails for LPU, GPU and accelerator modules.

  • Apply control theory principles to optimize power converter performance, stability, and transient response.

  • Select and characterize power components including MOSFETs, inductors, transformers, and magnetic devices using vendor tools and configuration GUIs.

  • Collaborate with ASIC and package teams to ensure power integrity across high-density PCB builds.

  • Develop and complete lab validation plans using oscilloscopes and other test equipment.

  • Build automation scripts to improve characterization efficiency and data analysis.

  • Collaborate with power management ICs via I2C, SPI, and PCIe protocols for system integration and debug.

  • Work with cross-functional teams including mechanical, thermal, firmware, and silicon build engineers.

What we need to see:

  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience) with focus on power electronics.

  • 5+ years of experience crafting power systems for data center, super compute, or high-performance computing applications.

  • Deep expertise in multiphase VRM development and Intermediate Bus Converter (IBC) topologies, and control theory as applied to power converters.

  • Hands-on experience with high-current (500A-1000A+) low voltage power delivery systems.

  • Proficiency with Cadence tools for power integrity analysis and simulations, and experience with high-density PCB build and layout considerations.

  • Familiarity with communication interfaces: I2C, SPI, PCIe.

  • Proficient with scripting languages (Python, Perl) and Linux environment.

  • Strong hands-on lab skills with oscilloscopes and power measurement equipment.

  • Clear and effective communication skills, both written and verbal.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Experience with AI accelerator power delivery for platforms such as TPU, GPU, or similar architectures.

  • Knowledge of advanced magnetic component build and optimization for high-density applications.

  • Experience with power modeling and simulation tools.

  • Background in EMI/EMC compliance and mitigation techniques.

  • Proven track record in bringing power solutions from concept to mass production with experience collaborating with external vendors and suppliers.
