NVIDIAJob Title
Principal Datacenter HSIO Engineer
Role Summary
Lead system-level HSIO (High-Speed I/O) and datacenter hardware architecture from silicon through rack level for high-performance GPU products. Work across power, thermal, signal integrity, mechanical, validation, and vendor teams to deliver production-ready systems for AI datacenters.
Experience Level
Senior level - 15+ years in technical hardware roles interfacing with systems.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Drive end-to-end system architecture from silicon to rack level.
- Lead cross-domain optimization involving power delivery, thermal design, signal integrity, and mechanical constraints.
- Develop silicon- and system-level features to improve GPU performance.
- Collaborate with vendors and suppliers on electrical/optical interconnects, power delivery, and memory solutions.
- Provide expertise and support to validation teams for test planning and execution.
- Engage with customers as needed to help deliver products.
Requirements
Must-have skills and experience:
- 15+ years in rigorous technical hardware roles involving system architecture, PCB design, mixed-signal design, hardware validation, system verification, or signal integrity.
- Deep understanding of system-level (L11) power architecture tradeoffs and experience at L10/L11 or equivalent roles.
- Strong signal and power integrity background with hands-on lab experience (oscilloscope, TDR, VNA).
- Knowledge and experience with modern optical communications (pluggables, CPO) and interconnect solutions.
- Proven ability to manage concurrent projects and priorities under tight deadlines.
- Excellent communication skills for cross-functional collaboration (software, firmware, marketing, mixed-signal teams).
Nice-to-have:
- Experience applying ML/AI frameworks to hardware problems.
- Proficiency with CAD simulation tools.
- Understanding of electrical versus mechanical tradeoffs.
Education Requirements
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
