Silicon Engineer, Power Analysis, DeepMind

Responsibilities

• Architect advanced technology node power solutions and establish use case budgets with block and full-chip estimations.
• Lead and drive the automation and integration of power analysis processes—including RTL power analysis, optimization, IP selection, physical design, and timing closure—into our automated flow.
• Apply hardware expertise to build, create, and integrate software components for automated early- and late-stage power analysis and optimization.
• Partner with systems power and cross-functional teams to define, execute, and advocate for power management and reduction methodologies from SoC architecture through sign-off.
• Specify requirements for power management IPs while managing their design, integration, and post-silicon validation.
