TL;DR · CPU Power Engineer

The CPU Power Engineer joins the CPU team to focus on power budgeting, analysis, and identifying recovery opportunities at the intersection of micro-architecture, RTL, physical design, and technology in high performance designs. The role involves analyzing and estimating the power impact of new micro-architectural features while generating power rollups and projected estimates from initial to mature net lists throughout the project lifecycle. You will also create power projections that factor in convergence costs and refine implementation processes. Required skills include experience with CPU architecture, logic design principles, timing and power implications for high frequency designs, and CMOS circuit analysis. Technical requirements include proficiency in Perl, Python, and TCL scripting, along with experience using industry-standard tools like PrimePower and PowerArtist to address complex power challenges within the high performance hardware domain.

What you'll do

  • Analyze and estimate the power impact of new micro-architectural features.
  • Generate power rollups and projected estimates from initial to mature netlists throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Identify power recovery opportunities within both physical implementation and RTL designs.
  • Create power projections that factor in the expected costs of convergence and implementation.
  • Refine internal processes for power estimation and analysis.
  • Evaluate power contributions across micro-architecture, RTL, physical design, and technology layers.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum BS degree and 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Scripting experience in Perl, Python, and TCL.
  • Academic or industry experience with CPU architecture and implementation.
  • Broad knowledge of micro-architecture, physical implementation, auto place and route tools, STA, spice, logic design, and device physics (preferred).
  • Knowledge of logic design principles regarding timing and power implications for high performance and high frequency designs (preferred).
  • CMOS circuit design and analysis skills (preferred).
  • Experience with industry-standard power analysis tools like PrimePower and PowerArtist (preferred).
