Technical Lead, Power Analysis and Optimization joins the Common Hardware Group to drive power efficiency from microarchitecture through physical implementation. This role bridges the gap between RTL design and silicon power to meet aggressive PPA targets for high-bandwidth packet switching systems. The successful candidate will evaluate microarchitectures using a first-principles approach, map network traffic patterns to identify inefficiencies, and develop comprehensive power vectors to simulate production workloads. Key responsibilities include performing power analysis, IR drop profiling, and collaborating with physical design teams to ensure RTL enhancements are physically viable. Required expertise includes RTL design, optimization, and power modeling, specifically utilizing PrimePower RTL. Preferred skills include experience with advanced FinFET process nodes, Tcl or Python scripting for automation, and high-speed packet switching architectures. The role focuses on solving complex power and performance challenges within the silicon development cycle.
