TL;DR · CPU Power Engineer

Role Posting Log in to save

As a CPU Power Engineer within the Silicon Engineering Group, you will focus on CPU block-level implementation. Your primary responsibilities involve 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 identify opportunities for recovery in both physical implementation and RTL by analyzing specific power contributions, while refining processes for projecting costs related to convergence and implementation. The role requires expertise in CPU architecture, logic design principles, CMOS circuit design, and device physics. You will utilize Perl, Python, and TCL scripting alongside industry-standard tools like PrimePower and PowerArtist. Your work addresses the technical challenges of managing timing and power implications for high performance and high frequency designs within complex processor architectures.
