Power Engineer

Job Title: Power Architecture Engineer

Job Type:

Roles & Responsibilities:

· Be the candidate that owns end-to-end power aspects such as - ASIC power analysis, power architecture, low power design, power-aware verification, advanced power methodologies, UPF methodologies, power feature bring-up on silicon, and post-Si power.

· Contributing to power analysis by helping to architect, develop, verify & correlate power estimation models/tools

· Be part of the team that architects & designs system-level power features for optimizing the dynamic and leakage power dissipation for different usecases.

· Work on power verification which includes structural, functional & power aware verification of power features by coming up with test plans, write testcases, build test bench components like Monitors, assertions and coverage points & own verification convergence across RTL, Gates and Silicon.

· Validate the effectiveness of the power features on silicon, conduct studies and contribute to the Performance/Watt improvement ideas.

· Help build power management solutions and drive innovation in energy efficiency across NVIDIA’s product portfolio.

Required

· B.Tech./M.Tech with 1+ years of experience related to Power such as Power analysis, Power Design, Power Aware Verification, UPF methodologies and Power Correlation

· Strong fundamentals in power including transistor-level leakage/dynamic characteristics of VLSI circuits

· Strong fundamentals in digital design and verilog

· Familiarity with low power design techniques such as multi-VT, Clock gating, Power gating, Voltage Islands and Dynamic Voltage-Frequency Scaling (DVFS)

· Good background in power estimation techniques, flows and algorithms

· Knowledge of power intent formats - UPF/CPF or similar

· Experience in Static Power check tools like VCLP/CLP or similar & Dynamic Power verification tools like VCS-NLP or equivalent

Preferred Qualification:

· Good debugging and problem-solving skills

· Strong communication skills and ability & desire to work as a great teammate

· Good programming skills - Python preferred (Good skills with object-oriented programming & design) preferred.

· Exposure to Power analysis tools (such as PTPX, EPS) or exposure to lab setups for power measurements like scope/DAQ with ability to analyze board level power issues is a plus.
