About the Role

You will own post-silicon power measurement strategy across operating conditions. You will build automated lab and analysis infrastructure, correlate silicon data with pre-silicon models, investigate root causes, characterize PVT behavior, and debug power anomalies with validation teams.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of silicon power analysis and characterization experience
  • Master's or PhD in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field
  • Understanding of digital and mixed-signal power domains
  • Knowledge of DVFS, leakage power, dynamic power, and power gating
  • Proficiency with oscilloscopes, current probes, power analyzers, and SMUs
  • Proficiency with Python, Perl, or MATLAB

Responsibilities

  • Own post-silicon power measurement strategy across operating conditions
  • Build and maintain lab infrastructure and automated workflows
  • Build data-analysis pipelines for power characterization
  • Correlate silicon power data with pre-silicon models
  • Drive root-cause analysis and refine power estimation methodologies
  • Characterize power across PVT corners
  • Develop test content and debug power anomalies
