KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Develop and maintain RTL-level IP power specifications, and align IP power architecture and solutions with SoC power requirements in partnership with SoC, IP functional design, and power design teams.
  • Define, track, and drive IP power targets by correlating power design intent with measurement results and identifying optimization opportunities.
  • Collaborate with verification teams to develop power vectors for simulation-based power measurements.
  • Partner with static power measurement teams to develop and maintain power regression infrastructure, monitor power health metrics, debug power-related issues, and analyze results to drive design improvements.
  • Work with corporate power methodology and SoC power teams to adopt advanced power architecture, design, analysis, and measurement methodologies to meet the SoC power requirements.
  • Contribute to corporate power methodology development and, as an advanced team member, influence the SoC power team's IP-level power strategy.
  • Provide technical leadership in power architecture, design, analysis, and measurement methodology development, while mentoring team members and promoting best practices across projects.
  • PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
  • Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog and scripting languages such as Python, Tcl, Perl, and Ruby, as well as Makefile-based development environments.
  • Deep knowledge of modern RTL-level power architecture, design, analysis, measurement methodologies, and industry best practices.
  • Strong understanding of microprocessor (MP) subsystem architectures, RTL microarchitectures for datapath accelerators, and low-power design methodologies.
  • Solid understanding of industry-standard on-chip bus and interface protocols, including AMBA, AXI, and AHB.
  • Experience with ASIC design and verification tools, including RTL simulation, linting, synthesis, power-aware verification, debugging, and related design flows.
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively across IP, SoC, methodology, and verification teams to drive technical solutions and achieve project goals.
  • Academic credentials:
  • Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field.
