SoC Power Modeling Engineer

What you'll do

• Model power dissipation and power delivery for various IPs including AI/ML, CPUs, and graphics.
• Establish voltage-frequency operating points for DVFM states across multiple SoC components.
• Model power dissipation specifically tailored to customer use-cases.
• Determine peak current requirements and power rail specifications for upcoming SoC generations.
• Collaborate with hardware teams to establish voltage-frequency design points pre- and post-silicon.
• Correlate power models with physical hardware data from the lab and silicon characterization teams.
• Model thermal control loops and throttling mechanisms for power optimization.

What we're looking for

• A bachelor's degree in a relevant field and at least 3 years of relevant industry experience are required.
• Experience with programming, low-power digital design, and power fundamentals (preferred).
• Understanding of SoC power modeling, current demand, and electrical properties of on-die PDN, power gating, and system power delivery (preferred).
• Skills in scripting, data analysis, and experience with EDA tools (preferred).
• Understanding of VLSI design flow and CMOS technology (preferred).
• Extensive background in Electrical Engineering (preferred).
• Ability to understand and model thermal control loops and throttling mechanisms (preferred).
• Familiarity with physical design tools for power optimization (preferred).
