Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with the physical design team on power grid (PDN) sign-off and IR/EM drop analysis, and work with systems teams to align on thermal and packaging constraints, including collaborating with the board design team to define power profiles and thermal maps.
Required Qualifications
Core Domain Expertise: Proven track record in semiconductor power definition, estimation, and optimization for complex SoCs or high-performance IPs.
EDA Tool Proficiency: Strong hands-on experience with industry-standard power analysis and sign-off tools (e.g., Synopsys Pt-PX / PrimePower, Ansys RedHawk, Cadence Joules, or PowerArtist).
Low-Power Design Knowledge: Deep understanding of modern low-power design intents and formats (UPF/CPF), CMOS device physics, and power reduction techniques.
AI-Assisted Scripting & Methodology: Proficiency in leveraging modern AI coding assistants to rapidly generate, debug, and optimize scripts (Python, Tcl, Perl) for workflow automation and data parsing, shifting focus from manual coding to AI-driven methodology development.
Educational Background: Bachelor’s (plus 8 years) or Master’s degree (plus 6 years) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, with relevant industry experience commensurate with a mid-level/Staff role.
Communication Skills: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to clearly communicate power trade-offs to cross-functional teams and leadership.
Preferred Qualifications
Advanced Node Experience: Direct experience taping out designs in advanced semiconductor technology nodes (e.g., 7nm, 5nm, 3nm or below).
Thermal/IR Knowledge: Familiarity with thermal modeling, power delivery network (PDN) design, and voltage drop (IR/EM) mitigation.
Post-Silicon Validation: Experience correlating pre-silicon power estimates with post-silicon laboratory measurements.
