Power Architecture Engineer at Nvidia

Hello Dear Readers, 

Currently at Nvidia vacancy for Power Architecture Engineer role.

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself. Our invention of the GPU sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. Today, research in artificial intelligence is booming worldwide, which calls for highly scalable and massively parallel computation horsepower that NVIDIA GPUs excel.


NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to solve, that only we can address, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work , to amplify human creativity and intelligence. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join our diverse team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world!


What you’ll be doing:

  • Be part of NVIDIA Power Architecture Group that owns end-to-end power aspects such as - ASIC power analysis, power architecture, low power design, power-aware verification, advanced power methodologies, UPF methodologies, power feature bring-up on silicon, and post-Si power correlation for NVIDIA's family of products.
  • Contributing to power analysis by helping to architect, develop, verify & correlate power estimation models/tools for NVIDIA's products
  • Be part of the team that architects & designs system-level power features for optimizing the dynamic and leakage power dissipation for different usecases.
  • Work on power verification which includes structural, functional & power aware verification of power features of NVIDIA products by coming up with test plans, write testcases, build test bench components like Monitors, assertions and coverage points & own verification convergence across RTL, Gates and Silicon.
  • Validate the effectiveness of the power features on silicon, conduct studies and contribute to the Performance/Watt improvement ideas.
  • Help build power management solutions and drive innovation in energy efficiency across NVIDIA’s product portfolio.

What we need to see:

  • B.Tech./M.Tech with 2+ years of experience related to Power such as Power analysis, Power Design, Power Aware Verification, UPF methodologies and Power Correlation
  • Strong fundamentals in power including transistor-level leakage/dynamic characteristics of VLSI circuits
  • Strong fundamentals in digital design and verilog
  • Familiarity with low power design techniques such as multi-VT, Clock gating, Power gating, Voltage Islands and Dynamic Voltage-Frequency Scaling (DVFS)
  • Good background in power estimation techniques, flows and algorithms
  • Knowledge of power intent formats - UPF/CPF or similar
  • Experience in Static Power check tools like VCLP/CLP or similar & Dynamic Power verification tools like VCS-NLP or equivalent

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
  • Good communication skills and ability & desire to work as a great teammate
  • Good programming skills - Python preferred (Good skills with object-oriented programming & design) preferred.
  • Exposure to Power analysis tools (such as PTPX, EPS) or exposure to lab setups for power measurements like scope/DAQ with ability to analyze board level power issues is a plus

Signal Electromigration (Signal EM): Violations, Examples, and Practical Fixes

  Hello Dear Readers,   Today in this post, I will provide some deep insight into the Signal Electromigration (Signal EM): Violations, Examples, and Practical Fixes. 1. Introduction: As technology nodes shrink into the deep‑submicron and nanometer regime (7nm, 5nm, 3nm and beyond), electromigration (EM) has become a first‑order reliability concern—not only for power/ground (PG) networks but also for signal nets. Signal EM failures are often underestimated because signal currents are transient and bidirectional. However, with higher switching activity, tighter metal pitches, thinner wires, and aggressive timing closure, signal EM can cause latent or early‑life failures if not addressed properly. This article explains: What Signal EM is and how it differs from PG EM Typical Signal EM violation scenarios Detailed, practical examples Root causes behind each violation Proven solutions and best practices to fix and prevent Signal EM issues 2. What is Signal Electromigration: El...

Exploring the Role of LEF Files in VLSI Chip Design: A Beginner's Guide

Hello Dear Readers,   Today in this post, I will provide some deep insight into the LEF file role during the VLSI Chip Design process. In VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) design, a LEF file is a file that contains information about the physical geometry of the standard cells used in a circuit. LEF stands for Library Exchange Format. A standard cell is a pre-designed logic cell that contains a specific function, such as a flip-flop or an AND gate. Standard cells are designed to be easily combinable and scalable to create more complex circuits. The physical geometry of each standard cell is defined in the LEF file. The LEF file contains information such as the width, height, and position of the pins and metal layers of each standard cell. It also contains information about the physical design rules that govern the placement of these cells on the chip. LEF files are important in VLSI design because they enable the interoperability of different design tools from different vend...

Power Analysis in the VLSI Chip Design

  Hello Dear Readers,   Today in this series of posts I will provide some deep insight into Power Analysis in the VLSI Chip Design. The power analysis flow calculates (estimates of) the active and static leakage power dissipation of the SoC design. This electrical analysis step utilizes the detailed extraction model of the block and global SoC layouts. The active power estimates depend on the availability of switching factors for all signals in the cell netlist. Representative simulation test cases are applied to the netlist model, and the signal value change data are recorded. The output data from the power analysis flow guide the following SoC tape out release assessments:  Total SoC power specification (average and standby leakage): The specification for SoC power is critical for package selection and is used by end customers for thermal analysis of the product enclosure. In addition to the package technology selection, the SoC power dissipation is used to ev...
