TL;DR · Senior SoC Power Modeling Engineer

The Senior SoC Power Modeling Engineer joins the team to drive pre-silicon power modeling and analysis for Embedded x86 SoC platforms. This role involves building SoC-level power models from IP inputs, creating use-case-driven models for automotive, industrial, and edge computing workloads, and developing voltage-frequency curves across operating corners. The engineer will perform sensitivity studies, derive EDC/TDC limits, and integrate IP-level models into cohesive frameworks to influence early architectural decisions regarding PPA trade-offs. Key responsibilities include translating real-world workloads into model inputs like activity factors and residency, as well as performing pre-silicon to post-silicon correlation using silicon data. Required skills include expertise in SoC power architecture, DVFS, static and dynamic power components, and scripting with Python. The role addresses the technical challenge of ensuring accurate power projections for complex embedded systems.

What you'll do

  • Develop and maintain SoC-level power models for Embedded x86 platforms using IP-level inputs.
  • Create use-case-driven power models for automotive, industrial, and edge computing workloads.
  • Translate real-world workloads into model inputs like activity factors, concurrency, and DVFS states.
  • Build and maintain Voltage-Frequency (VF) curves across various operating corners.
  • Derive and validate EDC, TDC, and current limits based on modeled workloads and constraints.
  • Integrate IP-level power models into cohesive SoC frameworks while ensuring consistency across components.
  • Perform sensitivity studies and evaluate PPA trade-offs to influence early architectural decisions.
  • Correlate pre-silicon power models with post-silicon data to refine modeling accuracy.

What we're looking for

  • BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience in power modeling, power estimation, or SoC power analysis (preferred).
  • Understanding of SoC power architecture, DVFS, static vs. dynamic power components, and EDC/TDC constraints (preferred).
  • Experience building SoC-level power models from IP-level inputs (preferred).
  • Experience creating and analyzing VF curves (preferred).
  • Familiarity with x86 CPU, GPU, memory, and fabric power behaviors (preferred).
  • Strong analytical and scripting skills, specifically in Python (preferred).
  • Ability to communicate modeling assumptions and results to senior technical stakeholders (preferred).
