About the Role
The Data Center Power & Limits Architect will define and drive next-generation power management, thermal, and system limits architecture for large-scale compute platforms. This role is responsible for enabling maximum sustained performance within constrained power, cooling, and reliability envelopes by architecting end-to-end power and limits systems across silicon, platform, and data center infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- Define holistic power, thermal, and electrical limits architecture across silicon, board, system, rack, and cluster levels.
- Architect power budgeting, allocation, and enforcement mechanisms across CPU, GPU, memory, accelerators, and I/O.
- Develop strategies to maximize performance under datacenter-level constraints (rack power caps, cooling limits, PUE targets).
- Architect advanced dynamic power control systems for fast transient response.
- Design closed-loop control systems using telemetry and feedback to optimize performance vs. constraints.
- Develop proactive and reactive limit management (thermal throttling, power capping, workload shaping).
- Define requirements and interfaces for telemetry infrastructure (sensors, BMC, firmware, system SW).
- Enable real-time monitoring and decision making across system layers.
- Ensure integration with platform controllers (e.g., BMC/EC, rack management, orchestration layers).
- Collaborate with Silicon/SoC architects, Platform teams, Software/firmware teams, and Data center infrastructure teams.
- Define hardware/software partitioning for limits enforcement with minimal overhead.
- Develop system-level models to predict performance vs. power/thermal constraints, evaluate algorithms and architecture trade-offs, and perform workload-driven analysis.
- Drive innovations in power delivery efficiency, thermal-aware scheduling, AI workload-aware limits, and rack/cluster-level power orchestration.
- Define next-generation architectures to support scaling AI/HPC performance under constrained infrastructure.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in power architecture, system architecture, or related domains.
- Deep expertise in power management systems and limits control.
- Deep expertise in thermal and electrical constraints in high-performance systems.
- Deep expertise in DVFS/DCVS, power capping, and control systems.
- Strong understanding of data center/server architecture (CPU/GPU/accelerators, memory systems).
- Strong understanding of power delivery networks (VRs, PDN, rack power distribution).
- Strong understanding of telemetry, sensors, and system monitoring.
- Experience with modeling and analysis tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python).
Experience Level
- 10+ years of experience in power architecture, system architecture, or related domains.
Education Level
- Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 6+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
- Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 5+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
- PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
Salary/Compensations
- $174,400.00 - $261,600.00
Benefits
- Competitive annual discretionary bonus program
- Opportunity for annual RSU grants
- Highly competitive benefits package
