Junior Power-Management Architect

Join a cutting-edge and well-funded hardware startup in Silicon Valley as a Junior Power-Management Architect, focused on modeling and optimizing Power/Performance features on a cutting-edge design. Our mission is to reimagine silicon and create Risc-V based Accelerated computing platforms that will transform the industry. You will have the opportunity to work with some of the most talented and passionate engineers in the world to create designs that push the envelope on performance, energy efficiency and scalability. We offer a fun, creative and flexible work environment, with a shared vision to build products to change the world.

Responsibilities

• As a Junior Power Management Architect, you will own or participate in the following:
• Design and develop a power management verification and validation s/w platform that will be used as a testbed for analyzing existing power features and improving future revisions
• Work closely with the FW and SW teams to integrate the platform into their environment for studying full-system power, current and thermal behavior
• Perform extensive simulation and data analysis for varying system use cases
• Prototype and validate new features in the platform with guidance from Architects and RTL engineers
• Help in bring-up of internal silicon and collaborate with post-silicon teams to validate power-management specific HW and SW features.

Requirements

• BS/MS degree in CS/CE/EE or equivalent experience
• Experience with CPU/GPU/SoC architecture power and/or performance modeling using simulators
• Good understanding of management features such as clock gating, power gating, DVFS is preferred
• Solid programming skills in C/C++, Python
• Working knowledge of Verilog, SystemVerilog for root-causing and triaging
• Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced and dynamic environment
• Go-getter capable of initiating and driving tasks from start to finish with minimum technical oversight

Education and Experience

• BS (2 - 4 years of experience) or MS (up to 2 years of experience) with a degree in CS/CE/EE or equivalent field, The team already includes senior and mid-level engineers who will provide mentoring.
