The SoC hardware development team is looking for a motivated candidate to fill a full- time position. The primary role is to engage in power hardware validation and analysis of typical SoC workloads. The analysis of the workloads and their power dissipation will help drive the power optimization efforts to achieve best-in-class power/performance.
Good programming skills and understanding of low-power digital design and power fundamentals.
Expertise on emulation tools; experience on one of the emulation platform: Palladium, Veloce, or EVE a plus.
Expertise on C/Assembly programming and associated tool chains.
Use of basic lab equipment such as multi-meter units, oscilloscopes, etc.
Calculations for dynamic and static power in CMOS.
Strong communication skills and ability to work as a team.
3+ years of experience.
Description
Core Responsibilities: As a member of the SoC power team, the candidate will be involved in the power validation efforts of mobile SoCs. The main responsibilities of this role are to create patterns that imitate typical workloads (e.g., video streaming, video recording, etc.), measure their power dissipation in silicon, and correlate measurements with simulation results. This role requires close collaboration with design, architecture, validation, and software teams, hence strong communication and teamwork skills are essential. Other responsibilities will include (but not limited to): • Work with architects to create test cases on emulation platform and port them to silicon. • Perform silicon power measurements and correlate with simulations/projections. • Work with cross-functional teams to enable use-case power measurements. • Improve use-case energy efficiency through tuning of hardware and software settings. • Improve power measurement infrastructure.
Education
Masters in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or similar field.
