Nvidia Senior Architecture Energy Modeling Engineer 

United States, California 

880486420

What you'll be doing:

• Work with architects, designers, and performance engineers to develop an energy-efficient GPU.

• Identify key design features and workloads for building Machine Learning based unit power/energy models.

• Develop and own methodologies and workflows to train models using ML and/or statistical techniques.

• Improve the accuracy of trained models by using different model representations, objective functions, and learning algorithms.

• Develop methodologies to estimate data movement power/energy accurately.

• Correlate the predicted energy from models built at different stages of the design cycle, with the goal of bridging early estimates to silicon.

• Work with performance infrastructure teams to integrate power/energy models into their platforms to enable combined reporting of performance and power for various workloads.

• Develop tools to debug energy inefficiencies observed in various workloads run on silicon, RTL, and architectural simulators. Identify and suggest solutions to fix the energy inefficiencies.

• Prototype new architectural features, build an energy model for those new features, and analyze the system impact.

• Identify, suggest, and/or participate in studies for improving GPU perf/watt.

What we need to see:

• MS (or equivalent experience) with proven experience or PhD in related fields.

• 3+ years of experience.

• Strong coding skills, preferably in Python, C++.

• Background in machine learning, AI, and/or statistical modeling.

• Background in computer architecture and interest in energy-efficient GPU designs.

• Familiarity with Verilog and ASIC design principles is a plus.

• Ability to formulate and analyze algorithms, and comment on their runtime and memory complexities.

• Basic understanding of fundamental concepts of energy consumption, estimation, and low power design.

• Desire to bring quantitative decision-making and analytics to improve the energy efficiency of our products.

• Good verbal/written communication and interpersonal skills.
