Responsibilities
- Architect, build, implement, and debug datacenter power- and performance-management software for racks and data halls.
- Develop real-time controllers, policies, and mechanisms that optimize performance, power, thermals, and energy efficiency.
- Drive features through requirements, architecture, implementation, pre-silicon validation, silicon bring-up, productization, and production support.
- Define hardware-software interfaces and power-management capabilities with GPU architects and hardware designers.
- Analyze workloads, clocks, voltages, power limits, thermals, telemetry, and system-level policies.
- Investigate and resolve complex power, performance, stability, and reliability issues across firmware, drivers, hardware, and platform software.
- Develop validation strategies and automation for correctness, latency, performance-per-watt, and robustness.
- Create architecture, interface, and component specifications for power-management features.
- Collaborate with distributed architecture, ASIC, firmware, driver, validation, platform, and datacenter systems teams.
Requirements
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- At least 12 years of industry experience developing system software, embedded firmware, device drivers, or other hardware-related production software.
- Strong C programming skills and experience developing, debugging, and maintaining complex low-level software.
- Deep understanding of operating-system fundamentals, device-driver architecture, embedded or real-time software, concurrency, interrupt handling, and hardware programming.
- Experience interpreting hardware specifications and developing interfaces for registers, telemetry, interrupts, and control mechanisms.
- Strong understanding of computer architecture and hardware-software interactions.
- Ability to independently debug complex problems across multiple software and hardware layers.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills and experience collaborating across organizational and geographic boundaries.
- Preferred experience with datacenter provisioning, monitoring, and power management at a CSP or NCP.
- Preferred hands-on experience with GPU, CPU, accelerator, or SoC power and performance management.
- Preferred experience with P-state selection, DVFS, clock and voltage control, power capping, thermal management, throttling, or workload-aware control policies.
- Preferred experience developing real-time feedback controllers and understanding stability, responsiveness, hysteresis, latency, and noisy telemetry.
- Preferred understanding of voltage-frequency relationships, transient power, thermal limits, power delivery, and system-level power budgets.
Benefits
- Equity and benefits are provided.
- Base salary varies by location, experience, and other objective job-related factors; the listed ranges are $224,000–$356,500 for Level 5 and $272,000–$431,250 for Level 6.
