Silicon Power Engineer

What You&aposll Do

• Model and analyze power consumption for various workloads on custom silicon, working closely with the CPU Architecture, Performance, and Implementation teams to define overall power requirements.
• Analyze power and performance trade-offs, drive detailed cost-benefit analyses, and make recommendations for power reduction strategies.
• Collaborate with the Performance, Design Verification, and RTL teams to create targeted test vectors that model appropriate workloads and functionality scenarios for accurate simulation.
• Own the end-to-end power simulation process, including analysis, tuning, correlation, and presenting results to the Architecture, Logic Design, and Physical Design teams.
• Partner with the CAD and Physical Design teams to enhance power estimation methodologies, simulation flows, and regression analysis.
  

What You&aposll Bring

• A Bachelor&aposs or Master&aposs degree in EE/EECS with 4-7 years of relevant industry experience.
• 4 to 7 years of direct experience in power-aware design, including analysis, benchmarking, modeling, and simulation.
• Strong working knowledge of CPU architectures and workload modeling for power analysis. Familiarity with the RISC-V architecture is a significant plus.
• Proficiency with Verilog and SystemVerilog RTL coding.
• Experience with the complete silicon design flow and evaluating power, performance, and area (PPA) trade-offs at the architectural, logic, and circuit levels.
• Hands-on experience with state-of-the-art EDA tools for gate-level and transistor-level power modeling and simulation.
• Strong scripting skills in Python, TCL, or other relevant languages.
• A proven ability to solve problems dynamically, innovate, drive decisions, and lead team efforts to deliver results under aggressive schedules.
