About the Role
Own the power architecture of a Physical AI SoC, defining power domains, voltage and frequency scaling, power states, power delivery, energy budgets, power-control subsystems, power intent, and power and thermal management through silicon bring-up.
Requirements
- 8+ years in power management, mixed-signal, or SoC architecture.
- Significant experience defining power architecture for shipping silicon or embedded platforms.
- Deep expertise in multiple power domains, DVFS, clock and power gating, adaptive voltage scaling, retention, and power state management.
- Strong understanding of power delivery networks, PMICs, voltage regulation, thermal constraints, and package constraints.
- Hands-on experience with UPF/CPF and power modeling and analysis.
- Experience defining and validating power management policies across silicon design, firmware, and platform software.
- Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Experience optimizing power for AI/ML accelerators or NPUs.
- Familiarity with robotics, automotive, mobile, or other power-constrained domains.
- Experience with energy-aware software, thermal management, and silicon power characterization.
Responsibilities
- Own the SoC power architecture.
- Define power domains, DVFS strategy, power states, and the power delivery network.
- Define dynamic and static power management techniques.
