TL;DR · Power Engineer

As a Power Engineer, you will join the hardware team to resolve complex use-cases through simulation and provide power projections for future projects based on detailed analysis. You will collaborate with architects, design teams, and logic teams to model SOC power, determine functionality for power reduction, and develop IP power models to inform performance, power, and area trade-offs. Your daily work involves creating test cases within the design verification environment and improving modeling by understanding software and system-level interactions. Required technical skills include running Synopsys PTPX data analysis, utilizing PrimePower RTL or PowerArtist tools, writing Verilog for test bench code, and using Python or Perl for flow enhancement. You must also navigate synthesis flows, clock constraints, physical design, and silicon characterization to ensure modeling accuracy across various frequency and voltage combinations.

What you'll do

  • Resolve use-cases with architects to simulate power requirements for future projects.
  • Create test cases within the design verification environment to evaluate power performance.
  • Collaborate with logic teams to determine and implement functionality improvements for power reduction.
  • Model SoC power for specific use cases in coordination with architecture and design teams.
  • Develop IP power models on new architectures to provide data for performance, power, and area trade-offs.
  • Analyze various frequency and voltage combinations to achieve optimal power targets.
  • Write Verilog and develop test bench code to generate new power coverage vectors.
  • Develop Python or Perl scripts to enhance power modeling flows and perform data analysis.

What we're looking for

  • Master's degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience running and analyzing Synopsys PTPX power data for leakage and dynamic components at multiple temperatures.
  • Proficiency using PrimePower RTL or PowerArtist to identify design power improvement opportunities.
  • Ability to write Verilog and develop test bench code for generating new power coverage vectors.
  • Experience analyzing frequency and voltage combinations to achieve optimal power.
  • Proficiency in writing Python or Perl for enhancing power modeling flows or data analysis.
  • Experience working with synthesis flows, clock constraints, and physical design.
  • Understanding of silicon characterization and accounting for part distributions for modeling accuracy.
