TL;DR · Power Engineer

JOB TITLE: Power Engineer The Power Engineer joins the hardware team to develop energy models for power targets, perform what-if analysis, and provide early power estimations. This role involves collaborating with micro-architecture teams on design implementations to improve power efficiency without compromising performance. Key responsibilities include performing RTL power analysis, validating power reduction changes within the power, performance, and area space, and supporting gate-level power rollups. The engineer will develop heuristics to accelerate analysis on large datasets and build a power data visualization platform. Required skills include Python, HTML, OOP programming, VHDL, Verilog, and machine learning methods. Candidates must also utilize logic analyzer tools, FPGA, and CAD tools to build silicon prototypes and apply mathematical methods to analyze power data to expose inefficiencies within microprocessor functionalities.

What you'll do

  • Develop energy models for power targets, "What-if" analysis, and early power estimation.
  • Collaborate with micro-architecture teams to improve power efficiency without compromising performance.
  • Perform RTL power analysis and implement reduction techniques with designers.
  • Validate power reduction changes across power, performance, and area (PPA) spaces.
  • Support gate-level power rollup and analysis for various designs.
  • Develop heuristics and machine learning methods to accelerate power analysis on large datasets.
  • Create a power data visualization platform to extract optimization insights.
  • Instrument RTL and test benches to extract key energy metrics and counts.

What we're looking for

  • Master’s degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience using Python to automate power data collection and extract power optimization insights.
  • Experience using HTML and OOP programming languages to create power data visualization platforms.
  • Experience using mathematical methods to analyze power data to expose power inefficiencies.
  • Experience using logic analyzer tools to inspect design waveforms and validate power reduction changes.
  • Experience using machine learning methods to accelerate feature extraction from large datasets.
  • Knowledge of computer architecture to optimize design in the space of performance, power, and area.
  • Experience using VHDL or Verilog to realize microprocessor functionalities and FPGA/CAD tools to build silicon prototypes.
