SoC Power Design Engineer (Engineer - Staff Eng) joins the Global SoC Power team to implement and validate low power design intent requirements at the SoC level. This role involves collaborating with frontend RTL, DFT, Synthesis, Design Verification, and Physical Design teams to ensure power requirements are met from pre-silicon to post-silicon stages. Key responsibilities include generating and validating UPF designs, reviewing IP power budgets, performing power analysis for clocktrees and peak power, and creating power models for chipset teams. The candidate will utilize hardware description languages like Verilog, VHDL, and System Verilog, alongside scripting in Perl, Tcl, or Python. Technical expertise is required in power-aware implementation flows including UPF/CPF/Conformal Low Power Check, as well as tools such as PtPx, PowerArtist, Prime Power, and PowerPro to manage multi-voltage domain designs and power gating.
