RTL Power Engineer

Skills

About the Role

You will own SoC power management across all design levels. You will design power meters, activity monitors, throttlers, thermal control loops, power and activity limit controls, clock and reset systems, and low-power state management. You will correlate power estimates across RTL, emulation, and silicon, build field telemetry, and define interfaces with firmware and software controls.

Requirements

• Understand the electrical engineering and physics of average power peak current thermal behavior and voltage droop
• Have experience designing power management hardware and thermal or current control loops
• Understand di/dt IR drop and power delivery network behavior
• Have experience with clock and reset architecture clock gating and PLL management
• Have working knowledge of Verilog or SystemVerilog and modern RTL methodology
• Have experience with power estimation and analysis from RTL through gate level
• Have strong debugging and problem-solving skills across hardware and software boundaries
• Hold a BS or higher in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or a related field
• Experience with DVFS adaptive voltage scaling adaptive clocking UPF low-power design thermal modeling firmware PMIC interfaces or power analysis tools is preferred

Responsibilities

• Design on-chip power management hardware including digital power meters activity monitors and throttlers
• Design hardware and software control loops around temperature sensors
• Design controls for activity average-power and instantaneous di/dt limits
• Address voltage droop power delivery and adaptive clocking behavior
• Own clock and reset architecture including clock gating PLL management and reset sequencing
• Define and implement DVFS power domains retention and low-power flows
• Correlate power estimates across RTL emulation and silicon and build telemetry
• Define interfaces policies and telemetry with firmware and software teams
