Responsibilities
- Drive the task of power design for CPU blocks across different teams including Arch, uArch, implementation, performance, DV and testing teams.
- Model and own uses-cases and workloads for custom silicon working closely with the CPU architecture, Performance and IP teams to determine the overall power requirements.
- Analyze and deploy trade offs between CPU power and performance and drive detailed cost/benefit analysis and making recommendations for power reduction.
- Create test vectors with the performance, design verification and RTL teams to model the appropriate work loads, and the correct functionality scenarios for simulation
- Own power simulations, analysis, tuning, correlation, and rollup to the architecture, logic design, and physical design teams.
- Collaborate with the CAD and Physical design implementation teams on power estimation, simulation flow, and regression analysis
- Interact with software and system level teams to influence SoC and product level power
Requirements
- 8 to 15 years experience in CPU power design including design analysis, benchmarking, modeling and simulation..
- Experience and working knowledge of CPU architectures and workload modeling for power. RISC-V architecture familiarity and experience is a plus.
- Familiarity with Verilog and SystemVerilog RTL coding
- Experience in silicon design flow and evaluating PPA tradeoffs at architecture, logic and circuit design levels
- Knowledge of device physics, advanced process technology and circuit design fundamentals is a plus
- Experience in state-of-the art EDA tools for gate and transistor level power modeling and simulations.
- Python, TCL and other scripting languages
- Aptitude to problem-solve on the fly, innovate, drive decisions and bring the team along to deliver under aggressive schedules
