Requirements

• Master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science 10 - 15 years industry experience or equivalent
• Understand Power, Performance, micro-architecture, RTL, Physical design, focused on digital system and IC design.
• Good understanding of ASIC design flow including RTL design, verification, logic synthesis and physical design.

Responsibilities

• Responsible for pre-silicon power estimation of the blocks in design. The responsibility includes both RTL power estimation as well as Physical design power estimation of the blocks.
• You will work with front-end and DV engineers to identify the windows of power activity in the design. You will work with the RTL team to ensure that the feedback from the estimation is implemented and results in optimizing power.
• Build an architectural power estimation tool for AI workloads to compute power based on system configuration and die level metrics. This will include workload profiling using external/internal memory size, bandwidth, gate counts, of compute/memory blocks.
• You will work with frontend architects and backend design to compile the performance monitor availability, system requirements, usage etc. Your analysis will be used to improve the hardware capabilities as well as die modifications to include performance monitoring/boosting features.
• You will work with the frontend team to integrate the feedback from the analysis into the design.
• Design of micro-architecture and RTL, synthesis, logic and physical power performance verification using leading edge CAD tools and semiconductor process technologies
• Design and Implement performance enabling and power saving/monitoring functions that enable efficient design, test and debug. Participate in silicon bring-up and validation
