In short
We are looking for talented CPU RTL Power Engineers to work on high-performance, low-power devices. Responsibilities include power modeling, analysis, estimation, and optimization of CPU designs. The role requires a Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with experience in low-power design techniques and tools like PowerArtist and PTPX.
Responsibilities
- Estimate/analyze RTL power for CPU modules using PowerArtist or equivalent tools.
- Optimize power at various stages of the design to meet targets, collaborating with architecture, RTL, verification, and physical design teams.
- Create comprehensive CPU power models and identify early power targets.
- Achieve correlation with physical design and analyze power/performance/area tradeoffs.
- Build scripts using Python/Perl to automate power estimation/analysis flow.
- Create algorithms to analyze complex HW throttling mechanisms to achieve peak CPU performance within EDP, TDP, and peak current limits.
Requirements
- BS degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 3 - 8 years of CPU RTL power modeling and estimation experience.
- Deep understanding of CPU or ASIC low power design, including expertise in active and Idle power optimization.
- Expertise in RTL clock gating techniques.
- Expertise in CPU power modeling and analysis for power/performance tradeoffs and battery life projections.
- Working knowledge of Verilog and/or VHDL.
- Hands-on experience in low-power simulation tools such as PowerArtist and PTPX.
- Knowledge of logic design principles along with power and timing implications.
Desired Qualifications
- MS degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering with at least 3 years of practical experience.
- Very good understanding of low power minimization techniques.
- Experience using a scripting language such as Perl or Python.
- Strong problem solving, organizational and communication skills.
- Ability to work in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.
Benefits
- Competitive annual discretionary bonus program.
- Opportunity for annual RSU grants.
- Highly competitive benefits package designed to support your success at work, at home, and at play.
